I am making a Unofficial Reddit API, which mimics the official one.

Its early days, but I would like to have a discussion here about it since my post was blocked on reddit(of course).

Let me know what you think of the project, if you have any input, let me know.

Pretty cool of you to do this! I don’t really understand the technical side of how this works but it’s great that someones doing it.

Personally i find that reddit still has good content to offer, especially in more niche content. Sure anything on r/all is 90% bots but other stuff isn’t.

Good luck

Bro, just stop. You’ll get C&Ded. Stop thinking about reddit. Cut it out of your life. You don’t need it anymore. Nobody does. We will find another way without it.

Lemmy is the worst form of social media, except for all the others that have been tried.

Never cared much for reddit, finding lemmy way more interesting anyway.

I don’t think Lemmy will end up being much more different than Reddit. It’s supposed to be less censored and all of that but it’s really not

Reddit is a dumpster. Mods with no oversight can die in a fire.

Decentralization is, by definition, censorship-resistant, just hop to another instance.

There is censorship, but i think it’s on par with reddit. Were i to post some of the stuff i post here on lemmy on mastodon instead i’d have my account banned. Speaking from experience.

I’ve gotten banned from places on here for simply stating facts that certain people don’t like and yes, you can move to another instance but there are only a few instances where you can reach a decent sized audience.

This project is stupid and DOA. Find something more productive or fun to work on.
