So what? Make it a requirement that any third party app must show a responsibile amount of ads in order to continue to use the API. Anyone found violating gets their rights removed.

It’s the only avenue that redditors have to fight back. If reddit gets its value from content and engagement, then by stripping reddit of its value is the only way to hurt it.

It’s very unfortunate, but redditors took the usefulness of it for granted it seems, as almost a 1 stop shop for archiving meaningful discussions. If enough discussions are destroyed, then less people will lean on it to get what they’re looking for and hopefully look elsewhere.

They could have easily handled this better, but a 30 day notice and just their behavior surrounding it? I hope they suffer from it. Just the way they handled the Apollo dev should speak volumes to how much goodwill they’re willing to burn for the sake of their goals.

No problem. Seems this is not the first case where the settings are not honored within the app.

I’ll take a look.

Open a github issue, unless there’s already one there.

If you do, I could probably take a swing at it later if you give me a reference to it.

The fediverse onboarding is at odds with the idea of what it means to have an account with a specific instance. Even I don’t know how important it is that my account originates on lemmy.ml. But one thing is clear after using it for a while, is that it does not matter where you come from when trying to browse content.

But how am I supposed to know I “vibe” with the direction of an instance when the first thing I have to do is register with any of them.

When I first started with Jerboa, it also presented me a list of predefined instances. Might it be helpful to maybe show an icon and a short description about the instance when I select it?

Also, maybe some (i) somewhere along the way that you have to click that explains how this is all held together?

Not sure how often Jerboa gets built, but this seems to becoming down the pipe eventually.

In the future, you can submit this sort of thing as an issue if you’re familiar with github.

Lemmywinks? South park reference https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/Lemmiwinks

Lemmywings? Like different wings of an overall government of lemmys?

The second point is what I find the biggest weakness of lemmy. I can understand the want or even need for an instance to have a duplicate of a community found elsewhere. But like you mention, this makes cross posting to reach a bigger breath of the same interest group an almost need.

Also reposts or duplicates of articles if you’re subscribed to both communities. How do you facilitate discussions when it’s fractured like that? Why would anyone be motivated to make the same point multiple times?

I’m not sure where I saw this but I vaguely remember the ability to view NSFW through the API if you’re a mod of a subreddit. I’m a mod of a very vague subreddit me and my friends dumped memes into, so I’m anticipating possibility having access through RedReader still.
