A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

If you want to lurk Reddit without being tracked, please use Teddit.net, they won't complain about using a mobile browser.

I stopped using Facebook on mobile and now I only go there occasionally on desktop to read and never post.

Reddit’s getting the same treatment.

Is it better to overwrite comments and then delete them, or is just overwriting with whatever message I want to leave then deleting account accomplish same goal of making comments useless.

Tapping on a Reddit link from mobile has mostly been pretty similar to this already for me. They have had an issue with DDG mobile browser for ages, refused to show more than a page of content and kept prompting me to "get the app", which didn't seem to recognise my third-party Reddit app... So I just hit the back button. Just recently, oddly, I noticed it had started working, but I'm in the habit of ignoring Reddit links on mobile anyway now so almost never go there whether it works or not.

This is incredibly pathetic. Why the asshats running reddit want to kill it this hard before an IPO is beyond me

I can maybe think of the thought process of people so far removed from how people use reddit trying to squeeze as much money out of it but killing it in the process, but it feels so dumb that I'm not sure I'm convinced

lmao, this shitshow just keeps getting worse and worse. good thing im currently building by community sub list so eventually i never have to look back at that site

As if there was somebody on the fence about what direction Reddit is taking. Glad I left

[–] Stoneblackdog@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

To be fair the mobile browser version was already shit.

[–] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I can honestly say since Twitter did this I’ve hardly ever used it

[–] zacher_glachl@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Man, they're really trying their hardest to get rid of me.

[–] RedMarsRepublic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The default site literally doesn't work on mobile anyway so it's not like it makes much difference.

[–] loops@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

It used too. They killed it though, purposefully. That's around the time I stopped going on reddit with my phone... funny thing that.

Unbelievable. Hopefully this drives more users to the fediverse.
