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.

    Thanks for taking the hit, soldier. I haven’t checked it since June 1, and was curious.

      The day I opened rif and it didn’t load was the day I quit reddit. Never went back. Lemmy isn’t as cozy as reddit was for me after a decade, but I just had to deal with the fact those days are over.

      I scroll here for short 5-10 min distractions but nothing more, all the comunities and all the porn is a bit confusing. I spent the first couple weeks blocking them but there are too many combinations of seggsy words to get them all.
