I Tried Reddit Again and it Sucks Now
I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The "home feed" shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it's hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I'm not sure what's up with that.

Since the whole fiasco started reddit took a turn, I was a scab for longer than I should have. I check in periodically specifically to keep track of Ukraine stuff, it's still a hive of activity compared to Lemmy but I don't care for it. If I was savvy I would have a script running to scraping content from Reddit and mirror it here on Lemmy to keep in tune with certain feeds.
That would probably require API access sadly
Just use the RSS feed
Which is still free up to a certain level of usage. You can do something like 10 or 30 requests per second and be fine
