  • Yeah, I really hate how the Lemmy corporation abuse their users. Yesterday they released the new Lemmy subscription, Lemmy Plus, which removes their gazillion ads and their other shenanigans. Crazy stuff. Using the official Lemmy client is also pretty annoying, I miss using Lemmy third party apps. Overall I really wish there was an alternative free and open-source platform to escape to. Would be cool if it was also federated so no one is truly in control of it








  • For Reddit: If you really want to participate, use a third-party app like Infinity but with your own API key. That’s easy to setup, you just have to follow this tutorial.

    If you don’t want to participate and just want to see Reddit posts without using the app or the website, use Redlib (the link I shared uses redlib btw)

    For YouTube: Either replace the app with another front-end like Newpipe or only use YouTube in a browser (which would still not be private but it’s slightly better than using an app). You can also use Revanced but I don’t know much about that one.
