I didn't have a "tantrum" when they blocked my 3rd-party app for corporate reasons... I just stopped using Reddit.
Exactly, I didn't have a tantrum. I used a third party app because of the accessibility features it offered that the official app doesn't. I can't use reddit now, so I don't use reddit.
Just curious, what app do you use for Lemmy?
I’m using Memmy on iPhone which has some good text size accessibility settings. But there’s some buggy stuff and I don’t think they’ve released any fixes or updates in a few months.
I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I'm also using it on android next to sync.
I use Voyager! Awesome app, give it a try.

Hey! I was using Memmy as well, but stopped a couple weeks ago since the developers aren’t doing much on there (no shade to them - it’s a free project so I appreciate what they did at all!). I recently switched to Voyager and it’s been seamless and appears to be better supported.
Voyager still has some slight bugs but it’s pretty good
I made the same switch, can recommend Voyager as well!
I'm using sync at the moment, I don't dislike it but there is room for improvement. I have very low accessibility needs. I have palsies in my hands so for me it's about having nice big icons to tap, because I don't have the dexterity to push tiny text links or really cramped hit boxes.
My phone GUI is enlarged and sync is just the first third party app I found that scaled well with my phone, most third party apps work for me, it's just the reddit official app that really, really doesn't. It's unreadable with my GUI settings.
Eternity. For me, this app is the only one without significant problems.
I tried Eternity but uninstalled it when I realized that it would just go back to my homepage if I switched away from the app for any reason. I'm using Liftoff at the moment but it's got its own problems. I might try Voyager some time.
Never encountered that bug on Eternity but I would suggest making a bug report for that issue on the page for Eternity so they might be able to fix it.
Liftoff is on it's last legs, once the last 0.18.5 instances make the upgrade to 0.19 it'll almost certainly be unusable. Dev isn't active anymore so I wouldn't count on an update to fix it either, at least not any time soon. He also said he doesn't have much experience with auth so even if he does get back to it it could take him a while to re-implement login.
I just experimented your observation and the behavior is not the same. Are you sure it isn't your settibgs?
Arctic is usually recommended for iOS
For the complete list of clients: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/
16 iOS Lemmy clients?! Wow.
Wonder what the motivations were for the closed-source developers…
So now they are pushing the narrative eight months later that people left in a tantrum?
The fact they still talk about that over there says a lot.
A popular theory is that a lot of bots were deployed to make the exodus seem less impactful. So, officially the numbers might be similar, but I'm sure there's less real content and people...
You didn't, but lots did. They're still using reddit to this day.
Me too, I did most of my redditing on the phone. So the only redditing I do these days is when on desktop looking for various hardware recommendations, cause unfortunately I don't know how to search lemmy that well
Lenny is also just missing the decade of pcmasterrace and other pc hardware sub content. It might get there in time but for now Reddit is still a font of information and advice from knowledgeable people.
That too is changing. For the last few months, most technical posts I search on reddit are starting to get filled with [Deleted] for all the actual answers as reddit's current push to ban left leaning users has removed all the people who actually were interested in giving answers in the past.
I mean yeah, there was always a few [Deleted]s in every old thread but in the last half year it has become the majority of them.
On Reddit, if a comment is removed by admin or moderators, it displays
[removed].[deleted]means the user themself did it. I’d imagine what you’re seeing is people like myself, who used scripts to delete all of our comments from the site.
