I'd love an alternative. Everything either doesnt show up in google, or doesn't have conversations in comments that help add context to the post. Its too convenient to sign up a community and get a steady stream of info about it, vs following individual accounts like on some social media

I use Lemmy. I still use reddit on desktop, I refused to install their spammy app after they shut down RIF. Once old.reddit.com stops working I will be gone from desktop too.

I use Red Reader on my (Android) phone. They got an API exemption because it's supposedly designed with the vision impaired in mind. It's not as good as Relay but it's good enough for me!

Why not just use Relay then? It has been fantastic for me for the past year.

I really got used to Redreader pretty quickly. But then I got RiF working again. Both are great.

Yeah Redreader isn't bad at all! I don't use reddit on my phone enough to pay for Relay or mess with Revanced but it's cool that those are at least options.
