Spent years on reddit after Google+ closed, my hopes are now with the Threadiverse

I’m interested in (among many, many other things):
TTRPGs, board games, longboarding, SUP / paddleboarding, and mechanical keyboards.
Yes, I realize that’s a lot of “boards” in that list. :)

  • It used to be Relay for me as well. Other apps had neat features I wish Relay had gotten as well, but I couldn’t get away from its neat UI and UX even though I tried pretty much every third-party reddit app there was.

    I’m certainly sad to leave a handful of my favorite communities behind but Reddit overall can burn down for all I care. Even before the API BS and Huffmann lying through his teeth the Reddit experience had gotten more and more annoying aside from the coziest of subreddits.

    Time to move on and perhaps some of the app devs try their hand at a sleek threadiverse app with all of the QoL goodies.




  • Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I’m using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.

    If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that’s fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it’s not worth the effort anymore.
    But it’s possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)
