I can go into detail lol DM me if you need help!

Get the apk from apk mirror and then patch it using ReVanced manager

It’s not that. There’s some really good places if you need solutions. For example, the home networking subreddit is a godsend for home network issues

That one looks fun too, hopefully they can end the monopoly Reddit has

Yeah me too. Honestly I like knowing that I CAN use it if needed, specially if there’s an obscure IT question I might need help with. But having it on a whole other phone let’s me not want to use it because it would mean having a whole other device to take care of battery and ughh you lost me there , so that’s my compromise, I keep it on my desk turned off until needed

I just found out about this too, but on Samsung phones you can install an app on the “secure folder” and that’s basically another device ID so even if you install the app there it doesn’t ban you.

Recently changed my phone, and while my new phone is completely reddit free, I tried this “secure folder” thing on my old phone(installed the official app via apk but patched to remove ads) that already was banned with a completely new account and so far it’s working well, I’ve left a few comments and such and haven’t been shadowbanned.

Now I’ll probably won’t post or do much on it anyways, I’m committing to use it less and less, but I can’t really confidently say that Lemmy fills out all communities as Reddit does

Honestly that’s how I got here lol.

Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let’s be real, Lemmy doesn’t have as much content or user interaction.

It’s allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities

Who is this “4chan”?

I agree, people make it out like we’re giving human rights to unconscious AI… I’m just saying thanks because I’m polite to anyone and anything easy as that

Lemmy won’t take off to that level, let’s be honest, the majority of people is turned off when they ask them to “choose an instance” and whatnot, most users just want to sign up and use the service, not learn about instances, which third party app to use and such…

It’s literally why this platform is mostly filled with IT people or at least Linux users lol.

I like Lemmy of course, but I’m being realistic, most people don’t care about FOSS alternatives, privacy and such
