Mine came through just now and I logged in successfully.

I tried creating an account, but never got the email confirmation. Everything seemed to work until that point.

skepticalifornia, 10 months ago to RedditMigration in Reddit appears to have neutered RSS feeds

Update on this issue. Reddit has apparently started to enforce login requirements for RSS feeds. Since most newsreaders have elected to not pay Reddit for API access, most of them will likely stop working.

However, there is a workaround for now - you can use old.reddit as the feed url, so something like old.reddit.com/r/technews.rss will work, for now.

I expect Reddit to also kill old.reddit at some point as they still have a couple of bullets in their gun to shoot off the rest of their foot.

skepticalifornia, 10 months ago to android in is anyone else bothered by the lack of the 3 buttons at the bottom

Same for me, I think there are a lot of us 😀

I just haven’t been able to get use to gestures instead of the buttons.

The great thing Reddit had was the ability to turn any subreddit into an RSS feed by just putting .rss on the end of the URL in place of the “/”

Thankfully RSS is built into Lemmy - every community includes an RSS feed.

It’s a good way to see a quick list of all posts in a reader that supports RSS.

Are they updating? Mine are there but nothing new in a couple of days.

skepticalifornia, 10 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite memory from childhood?

Like others here it has to do with my Grandmother - one of my earliest memories was me, about 2, riding in the front seat of a car, and looking over at my grandmother driving and she smiled at me.

This was in the 1960s so kids could ride in the front seat and I probably wasn’t even wearing a lap belt, certainly no car seat.

My grandmother stopped driving not long after that, so I never saw her drive a car except for that one time and I can still picture her face smiling at me.
