There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

    yes, without an account just for local/niche subs that don’t exist anywhere else

    and that only because I have rif working via revanced.

    if I am ever forced to see their shitty ads I’ll stop doing even that

        not sure how it works really, I had to create an app API key and input that into revanced and it just worked. I just followed the steps it was pretty easy.

        can’t log in, but participating there is pointless anyway

          I’m not going to do this since I find it better to just avoid the site altogether, but I still have RIF Golden Platinum installed on my phone for sentimental reasons

        Reddit didn’t technically kill all api usage, they just killed the ability for major 3rd party api users to do it for free. You can still get your own personal api key and use it for stuff. People have made patches for all the popular android apps to substitute your personal key for the app’s usual key.
