I use RSS to fetch reddit posts for subs that are not active in Lemmy.
Sometimes I need to read the comments so I’d view the post from safari. Today, I tried like 3 post and when click on view post, it would redirect me to the App Store.
When I decided to screenshot the page to make this post, it did show the post but would refuse like 1 out of 5 times.
Non reddit users who will open the reddit links for information will now stop looking at it. They won’t go through the pain of signing up. Ad revenue loses for the idiots.
It also means people trying to share posts with friends will have trouble. If someone sends me a link that insists I open in app I’ll either ask the sender to just screenshot it or pretend I looked.
