I assume this comes in addition to "reminding" me multiple times a day, sometimes when I click a link, sometimes seemingly on a timer loop while I am just reading, that they have an app?

Yes. I tried the app. The app is better not because it is good but because they deliberately break the web.

Also the app seems to eat battery and I am planning on charging my new iPhone 14 twice a day to use it or jump through hoops to figure out if it is anything I do wrong.

Between this and the community blackouts I am leaving for now.

I left Twitter a few months ago (including Nitter) and my stress levels have been lower since that. I guess the same will happen after I leave reddit.

Edit: It also seems to me the fediverse is picking up steam quickly now. The number of lemmy instances and lemmy users seems to have exploded recently: https://the-federation.info/platform/73



There's a free safari extension for iOS that blocks the "use our app" popup on reddit mobile site. It's sad that such a thing even needs to exist.


If Apple didn't have so much power we wouldn't be in this situation where we can only use Safari with this extension.


You can also use the "Userscripts" extension and add this userscript to https://drop.tf/FaCcNg redirect to "/.i" website.


i.reddit.com just redirects to new reddit now.


What is it called?


"Sink It for Reddit"


Thank you


Stop the madness is the one I use.
