Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time.

I just found out about this too, but on Samsung phones you can install an app on the “secure folder” and that’s basically another device ID so even if you install the app there it doesn’t ban you.

Recently changed my phone, and while my new phone is completely reddit free, I tried this “secure folder” thing on my old phone(installed the official app via apk but patched to remove ads) that already was banned with a completely new account and so far it’s working well, I’ve left a few comments and such and haven’t been shadowbanned.

Now I’ll probably won’t post or do much on it anyways, I’m committing to use it less and less, but I can’t really confidently say that Lemmy fills out all communities as Reddit does

That’s good to know, if I ever really, really need to throw shade at some comment I see on Reddit i’ll give that a shot… but honestly, I’m also mostly clean and free from “using” and probably will avoid it so I don’t backslide into that fetid mess. I find I don’t miss it that much anymore and have become a LOT more productive without having those comment sections to scroll every day and every lunch break.

  Yeah me too. Honestly I like knowing that I CAN use it if needed, specially if there’s an obscure IT question I might need help with. But having it on a whole other phone let’s me not want to use it because it would mean having a whole other device to take care of battery and ughh you lost me there , so that’s my compromise, I keep it on my desk turned off until needed

    I love how reddit’s social section is now regarded the same way as a product like condoms or guns or narcan.

    It’s not that. There’s some really good places if you need solutions. For example, the home networking subreddit is a godsend for home network issues

How do you patch to remove ads?

  Get the apk from apk mirror and then patch it using ReVanced manager
