Still better than Reddit

I’m not even joking when I say that this app, despite being in alpha, is a more pleasant experience than the official Reddit app.

• Jerboa has not begged me to turn on notifications
• Jerboa has not yelled at me for taking a screenshot or begged me to send it as a link to the site instead
• Jerboa has not warned me that I am “low on coins”
• Jerboa has not tried to make me create an NFT avatar
• Jerboa contains more formatting options in comments than the Reddit app (!)
• Jerboa is smart enough to autopopulate the link title when I highlight text to be converted to a link. Reddit app still lacks this feature (!)

Awesome. The Linux community should be among the vanguard of this whole effort given our philosophy.

Honestly I’ve only been on Lemmy for a few days and I don’t anticipate going back to Reddit. I’ll probably use Reddit for IT help queries periodically but that’s it. I like Lemmy quite a bit more.

Wow, that’s an incredible feature.

As an aside, do you know if they actually get paid more if you watch those types of ads? How do they know that you watched it?

There is one channel in particular that I watch, and I just get tired of hearing about Nord VPN on every single video. I’ve heard the pitch. I don’t need a VPN.

My pet peeve is when people take time during their video to put in an ad that is part of the video itself, so it’s not skippable like traditional Youtube ads. You have to use the seeker to fast forward past the ad.

I have YT premium (we get it with our cell phone plan), so I’m even paying these people for the videos, yet am still being served ads. I wish YouTube would institute a policy against it.

Oh no worries at all, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t confusing myself. Thanks!

This is so confusing to me. This post was from asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Why is there a warning about feddit.it?
