There’s actually a new loophole where an app called morphe with an extension called patcheddit uses Redreader’s (or infinity’s, but the dev has to pay for that one so don’t use it) api key to get third party clients working. If you want to keep using RIF, see this https://github.com/wchill/patcheddit, I tried it with Sync as a fun test and it worked well. As a bonus, you’re less likely to have your account banned as I had mine banned last year for what I presume was using my personal api key to patch Sync, and you also don’t need to use the Redreader app directly like many comments are suggesting. I presume what happened and why it stopped working for you is because Reddit revoked api keys for everyone except those who had api keys for bots and things like that. Hope this helps :)

Definitely Codeberg if you don’t want to self host anything

Simply, no it isn’t. I took a look, it’s honestly a nice community and doesn’t look like “an echochamber of misandry” Saying this as a guy btw

I like how it’s more decentralised but still feels easy to use, and also has no ads and isn’t controlled by companies trying to make money. I also love how it is easy to curate a feed with only content that you want in it, and none that you don’t being shoved in by algorithms that collect all your data

Try a different Matrix client like Sable or Commet, they have much better ux than element. Element is honestly a pretty garbage matrix client when it comes to the ui and ux

Do you use a vpn? I had this same bug as well and split tunneling voyager out of my VPN fixed it. I think it might be an issue with some piefed instances like zip and blahaj since I was able to login with piefed.social over my VPN fine, but not with zip.

Other clients i’ve used in the past have supported most of these, if you take a look at the Piefed mobile client wiki here: https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/wiki/piefed-app, you can see Interstellar in particular supports alot of those. They are in the api

I like the Voyager ui alot. I did try Blorp on mobile and liked it too but I like the voyager ui more than having the extra features. I’ve also switched back to using Piefed ui after they introduced some new themes that make me like the ui enough to use it when combined with the fact it has all the latest Piefed features

Oh, now it makes sense

What

It’s nice for you that the instances being blocked just so happen to be ones you don’t like, but did you not consider that there’s probably alot of people who don’t have issues with those instances and don’t find them toxic. Your personal blocklist is there so you can curate your own feed, and that is not what the instance blocklist is for and they aren’t and shouldn’t be treated like the same thing. Tldr, just block an instance in your personal blocklist and move on, no need to make it everyone else’s problem.

Yeah this is true for a good amount of proprietary software but not really for most Foss software, which I mostly use now

I think there’s no problem unless you can’t opt out of them, automatic updates are convenient for a lot of people like me, who forgets to check for updates to things

Agree with the .zip instances, it’s nice to not randomly lose access to communities over instance drama
