I just found out about this too, but on Samsung phones you can install an app on the “secure folder” and that’s basically another device ID so even if you install the app there it doesn’t ban you.
Recently changed my phone, and while my new phone is completely reddit free, I tried this “secure folder” thing on my old phone(installed the official app via apk but patched to remove ads) that already was banned with a completely new account and so far it’s working well, I’ve left a few comments and such and haven’t been shadowbanned.
Now I’ll probably won’t post or do much on it anyways, I’m committing to use it less and less, but I can’t really confidently say that Lemmy fills out all communities as Reddit does

This is too much effort. I’ll wait and see if the Digg reboot is worth using.

At this point, I think the better alternative is to just say NO! to content aggregators and like… take walks instead.
Seriously, I changed my daily hour-long lunch break from browsing the internet to walking outside and it’s done so much good, and I miss being connected to the world less and less. I am using all the sites less, even Lemmy and Youtube get less enjoyable when you get your brain focused on other goals.

It won’t be. It can’t be. It will have to monetize, then it will have to restrict, and you end up with the same problems Reddit has.

I was watching a “Town Hall” sort of thing on YouTube with the founders behind the reboot. They seem like the sort of people who are too rich not to be detached from the perspectives of the common person. So I think you’re probably right.

That one looks fun too, hopefully they can end the monopoly Reddit has
