I can’t get rid of it, it’s obnoxious. I’ve tried filtering the element with my adblocker but it keeps reappearing. As much as I find Reddit useful (unfortunately), especially for information and discussion relating to my country, I will never install their proprietary garbage app on my phone just to use their website.
Oh well. I’ve used the Internet before Reddit existed, I’m sure I can get used to doing so again.
This whole shitstorm started three years ago. Welcome!
I’m a former redditor as well, a few years back. Lemmy is a very nice place. It’s like Reddit back before Reddit went to shit (~15 years ago).
This year, we’ve had a big influx from Reddit. This is great that people are finally abandoning ship.
I’m pleading with you that are new here…please don’t bring the nastiness here. Start afresh!
I say that because I’ve noticed a sharp increase of shitty attitudes all of the sudden. It’s a direct correlation with the new influx of redditors. I had someone, just two days ago, accuse me of acting like an r/atheist whatever-the-fuck. He was trying to insult me because I disagreed with his view on something.
It doesn’t matter if we agree or disagree…respect and latitude is what makes Lemmy a great place. Let’s not turn this platform into Reddit 2.0 ❤️
Welcome.
Isn’t it amazing how Reddit was this beautiful community, genuinely useful and welcoming to millions, and now it’s being thrown away, soiled, emptied out, on the pathetic whims of some selfish billionaire owner?
I find that Reddit is being run by dictators who will ban anyone easily
I second this.
I was banned from a community for infringing a rule that didn’t even exist in both the community ruleset and as part of the ToS.
Trying to talk there is like permanently checking that you don’t enter into wrongspeak territory like in 1984.

That’s exactly what drove me over here a few days ago. After they locked the API up and boost stopped working I was just browsing the website occasionally. Lemmy is cool so far, just running into a worrying amount of pro-Russian propaganda mental gymnastics. And of course not as many speciality subs yet. I wanna chat about project cars but the largest car community here are those fuckcars loons. Not fun people to be around.
Start a community…what kind of cars you into?
Reddit was the bomb if I had an issue with a car and I needed to chat with 50 people that already solved the same issue on a model specific sub. Can’t do that here
i use firefox browser on the phone it allows you to close it, i also have adblockers on.

ublock origin dropper button choose whatever annoys you

At the risk of sending you back to the hellsite, there are extensions that force all reddit pages to load in old.reddit
When I have to use reddit (searching for info about obscure idle games from 10 years ago), old.reddit makes it tolerable.
There’s a scraper app called RDX that I have also used with success. You can only lurk which is fine by me as I haven’t contributed in years over there.
