A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers (old.reddit.com)

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

Never understood this on Reddit either... What's the difference between "Top" and "Hot"?

[–] PascalSausage@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the difference is that Top is based on sheer number of interactions overall (upvotes, comments etc) while Hot is what is getting a lot of interactions in the present.

Ha. I managed to post my comment on the wrong post and subsequently deleted it, but thanks for the explanation.

Edit: actual post I meant to connect on is here: https://lemmy.ca/post/623224
