I refuse to use reddit with it's modern UI. Once old.reddit.com dies I'm hanging up my spurs

I left when they killed 3rd party app access.

Honestly even the curated subs I was a part of were pretty toxic or echo-chambery now that I've had time to look back

The biggest problem is that Lemmy is no substitute for Reddit. Majority of it is run by tankies and people professing extreme left views.

I built my private version of Infinity for Android. The steps were 90% automated. They were in a Reddit thread like this one (I just pasted the first thing I found now), although I don't know if the build process still works. https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/1izm7c... -- you have to side-load the app, which is a little tricky because you have to load it onto your phone. I think put it on a private Google Drive.

Maybe similar solutions exist for iOS, but maybe the side-loading is not as easy?

Anyway, on Windows/Chrome I use uBlock Origin and never see any ads in Reddit online. There was a lot of drama about reddit selling out in 2023 (I was sad to see Infinity die), but there are tech solutions to avoid its enshittification.
