Maybe it's nothing, but Reddit seems particularly sensitive towards kbin.
I think its interface is so much more similar to Reddit it scares them 🤞
Tbh lemmy seems more reddity to me. Kbin has the whole microblogging thing too, which differentiates it more imo, tho kbin does seem to be faster and less glitchy (when the servers are up lol)
Kinda wish Jerboa worked with Kbin tho.
Same, though you can follow all the kbin instances from any lemmy account federated with kbin, which is what I do (this is my kbin account, but I'm still subbed to all the same stuff on my lemmy accounts, except my lemmy.world account, which is basically useless since the beehaw defederation, so I don't use it anymore)
I agree, at least on mobile. I tried both and Lemmy feels like the natural alternative. Kbin reminds me more of old Reddit in UI, but Lemmy reminds me of Apollo UI.
That's why Kbin feels more like Reddit to me. I was always using old on desktop, and RiF on-the-go.
Fair, I only ever used slide for reddit until it started getting glitchy and refused to show gifs a year or so ago, then used sync. Lemmy has a great mobile UI very reminiscent of the old 3rd party reddit apps
Boost was my favorite when I was on Android. I think the only thing I miss are gestures to vote and collapse comments, but the controls are set up well enough to make it a non issue. Props to the lemmy devs
the mlem app is so close to Apollo! I hope we can get something like it for kbin
Depends which instance you're on. Lemmy.ml was giving me lots of problems, but I get the feeling the lemmy.ee admin is really on top of things so that's my main now.
So Reddit management is afraid. Good.
That's exactly the same shit Elon/Twitter pulled with links to Mastodon.
Spez's hero, Elon.
"has not been reviewed"
Since when is any content on reddit reviewed, other than mods enforcing sub rules?
I think that message shows when a sub doesn't have active moderators?
It's not showing for me. But the sub does currently have 1 mod.
There were some tiny subs I checked out on mobile browser where I got this like a year ago. SO it's not exactly new. But yeah they were so tiny that it's plausible they didn't have an active mod.
I also find this hilarious. If they claim their content to be reviewed now that will be legally disadvantagous with all the nsfw, gore and grey-legal stuff on their site.
A workaround is to add old. in front of the URL and you will still be able to use it, i.e., https://old.reddit.com/r/kbinmigration)
Plugging addon to redirect reddit links to archive.org versions: https://lemmy.world/post/146892
You can also add https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache: before the reddit link if the post isn't on the wayback machine for whatever reason.
On duckduckgo you can also search !cache + url to do the same thing.
This is great. Until the Fediverse amasses more content, Reddit is still the best way to get answers from Google that aren't just SEO nonsense. Great way to still use Reddit results without using Reddit.
For now. It already tries to redirect you to the new reddit when clicking links in the old reddit.
I use to use a browser extension that would redirect back to old reddit for that. it was very annoying
If you're tapping on the old ui already and trying to tap on links, I've found that if you tap on the 'comments' button, you'll stay in the old ui.
I've been using the 'Old Reddit Redirect' extension in Firefox for a couple of years now.
I don't have to worry about typing old. in front of reddit links, and it bypasses that attempt to redirect to new reddit.
Can't wait to see what Spez's golden 'chute looks like.
Judging from his desperation, it'll look like an anvil if the IPO isn't successful or doesn't happen.
Oh yes!
yeah reddit can suck it. There’s a work around with Apollo that allows you to easily open the page in Apollo when you see this pop up. But no more after 30th. Instead for those who have iOS you can use this google cache shortcut. Just hit the share button, and click get cache and it will open up a cached version of the page. It’s works quickly and haven’t had any issues yet. Works for subreddits that went dark too.
Since I'm here, it ain't working.
Yes, they’ve been doing that since the beginning of the great migration. It is available on desktop.
Competing platforms are scary!!!
You'd think they would be able to compete on merits alone in the free market, but instead they resort to this. Just like Twitter and mastodon. It's funny how scared they are about something so innocent.
Spez losing it again.
Bwaahaaha, the more they tighten their grip, the more people slip through their fingers!
Now Steve goes completely crazy!
He's emulating his hero, Musk.
Elom, w-w-what do you want me to do? They all b-b-bother me! sad spez noises
Not sure what's going on there, but I can see the kbinmigration sub without issues, even without "old" on the front end of the URL. Maybe someone just now "reviewed" it? Or maybe you have the adult content filter turned on? (I have it turned on here, but I think I probably turned it off on reddit at some point.)
It’s blocking the mobile site
I've seen this before on mobile (web browser) on really small subs. With 1k subscribers, this is the biggest sub that I've seen that popup show up for though, but I think every sub I visited on mobile that didn't have the popup had more subscribers than that.
That said, I could easily see the reddit admins dragging their feet over reviewing and approving this particular sub, unfortunately.
I had something similar happen to me for a game's Subreddit right before the shut down. It's less censorship and more 'everyone use our shit app.'
No surprise there.
When I clicked on the image, I thought that it had taken me to Reddit and my mobile was warning me against viewing Reddit! I was like, “Thanks, phone!”
Haha I knew it!
