As a 12 yr Reddit lurker, Geddit fits all my needs. It sidesteps the api using rss feeds and other technical stuff I don't know about. You can view posts and comments. Favorite subreddits. But can't post/comment/vote. I'm trying my hand at engaging more on lemmy, but for more content, Geddit is perfect for me.

(You're still giving traffic to reddit btw)

You mean costing reddit bandwidth while avoiding ads. Unless your argument is that reddit itself is the ad?

I said traffic. You said ads.

Keep in mind companies make money in more ways than ads.

A companies valuation includes an estimate for the worth of each active user..about $1 or more per registered email.

Site traffic is also counted, because although those users are anonymous they are still eyeballs.

Also, it is trivially easy to include ads over RSS. This may happen at some point.

Until then, you are giving your traffic to reddit, helping boost their value before IPO.

As for costing reddit traffic, my sweet summer child.. RSS is 1000% more efficient than reddit's app or web ui.
