Reddit, AI spam bots explore new ways to show ads in your feed

#For sale: Ads that look like legit Reddit user posts

"We highly recommend only mentioning the brand name of your product since mentioning links in posts makes the post more likely to be reported as spam and hidden. We find that humans don't usually type out full URLs in natural conversation and plus, most Internet users are happy to do a quick Google Search," ReplyGuy's website reads.

I really would like to quit Reddit but I have to admit that Reddit has a lot more variety in terms of content, so I'll keep using it until Boost for Reddit finally breaks for good.

50% of the content on Lemmy falls into four categories:

  • Posts complaining about Reddit
  • Linux memes
  • Commieposting
  • Porn

You're forgetting star trek discussions and memes.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago
  • Cats
  • Memes about cats
  • Cats using Linux
  • Owning a car is evil and you should be ashamed
  • You should have a cat instead
  • We hate Elon Musk
  • Knives

(Hey, at least I'm trying.)

Warhammer 40k obviously.

Not like Reddit is any different, there's just a lot more of it.

[–] InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

The break down of the content isn't my biggest issue. The problem is that there just isn't enough content.

Thankfully some mobile apps besides the official still work and Old Reddit still works on desktop.

  • getting banned for not worshipping Stalin.
[–] Allero@lemmy.today 7 points 6 months ago

Was banned on Lemmygrad for exactly that - said Stalin's policies had both up- and downsides.

Was apparently enough.

(For the record, I'm a full-blown communist)

How is Boost still working for you? I just get a failed to refresh message

[–] piexil@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

If it's like reddit sync you'll need to patch it with revanced

add comics and complaining about the world to that list and you’ve got 95% of lemmy content
