Like what do I even do at this point. Its a free app and these reviews hurt app store performance,
Your first error was to create a reddit app.
Your second error was to not create or contribute to a Lemmy app instead.Hope that helped. :)
Why not contribute to Mbin & PieFed ?
And this is actually the issue. As a developer I want to build and app based on what interests me. Then I want to write a post about it.
The comments:
- person 1: Why would you waste your time building an app for that platform, you should build an app for this platform that way less people use”
- person 2: “nah that’s a waste of time you should build an app for this even more niche platform with even less users”
- person 3: “you should just use RSS feeds and anything else is a waste of time”
Me as a developer “thanks guys I just wanted to build an app for a platform I’m passionate about”
Wrote this comment on my own lemmy client, because I like using about lemmy :)
Hey man build whatever you want, so what’s it called ?
That’s fine as well.
What a dipshit…
“Tell me you don’t know how reddit works without saying you don’t know how reddit works.”
They probably don’t understand how anything works because they think learning about stuff is wOkE
This person sounds insane like one of those people who lives in an RV with signs all over it talking about 5G nanobots and how water causes cancer.
There’s a park in my area. Literally every time I have been there, over several years, there is a van in the parking lot. It has a wire mesh bust of Hillary Clinton on top, and is covered with writings about various conspiracy theories about her, and slogans like “Hillary for Jail!”
Possibly the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’m giving 1-star ratings to weather apps because it’s too cold outside.
You joke but meteorologists have received threats because they forecast bad weather on special events.
This was so bad, that one of the local meteorologists took to making a promo bump with a sarcastic “Thanks Delkis” anytime the weather report was on. It was hilarious hearing him explain that people complained that HE was in charge of the weather.
That’s like being mad at the bus because your chosen destination for the day sucked.
'Murican voters.
Dutch ones are the same. Source: am dutch
The stupid bus made it rain!
You can report these.
This is a troll. Nobody truly with that view would copy paste to all the search results instead of just the official app.
You wildly underestimate how stupid and/or ignorant people are.
That’s super dumb. Also, I thought there weren’t 3rd party Reddit apps anymore? Do you not still have to pay for the API?
Third party apps with small users bases or ones that are used by people with disabilities (that have disability features) still work. For now. Also apps that allow for a read only view (meaning they can’t be used to sign in, write/post comments, or upvote/downvote) also still work I believe.
There’s a few tricks around it. Web scraping, for example. I could also see like a webview portal with a custom layout
No reason to engage an idiot, not like you’re going to change his mind.
That’s not the point. When you respond to reviews like this the goal is to point out to everyone else who might be reading it that the reviewer is in fact a nut, and therefore their opinion should be discarded out of hand.
Classic right-wing nut “You have to listen and like what I say or it’s CeNSOrShIp”
How do these apps still work? Aren’t the apis fucked? Is this just some fancy browser with extra steps?
I’m on Android so I didn’t look into OP’s app. I just went looking into it after this post. Apparently if you create your own developer app ID and patch an app to use yours instead, I guess your usage is too low for Reddit to bill. Something like that.
fyi rdx is on android too https://overdevs.com/rdx
this is what happens when you censor only one wing in social media
You’re left with wing nuts?
The Reddit populace is pretty leftie. Except for the occasional brave soul commenting here and there, you have to search out certain subreddits to hear conservative views.
Not that your app has anything to do with that, of course.
To a “conservative” reality itself must seem extremely left-wing. It’s just their warped perspective.
I’d say it is (was? It’s been ~a year and a half since I used it consistently but I’m guessing it hasn’t changed too much since then) moderately left by US standards but definitely not progressive left - you don’t have to go very far to find thinly-veiled sexism/racism/homophobia, though that might just be because a large portion of the people there are terminally online in a bad way. That being said, there are definitely also communities ranging from conservative to hardcore conservative as well but I actively tried to avoid those so I didn’t really see them in my feeds. The same is true with progressive communities but they tended to drift away from being actually progressive once they got to a certain size.
How dare you make a woke app. /s
What a fucking idiot holy shit.
Like writing a product review and giving one star for shipping speed lol.
on the French Amazon I once bought Argan oil and one of the 1 star reviews was “very disappointed, smells and feels like oil”.
I kid you not.
I loved this idea it was exactly what was described but I wanted a different color 1/5 stars
This item funtioned exactly as intended but didnt do what i wanted it to do.
One star.After selling on eBay I once got the feedback that the buyer was deeply disappointed because what he had received was exactly what had been listed and shown in the photo, but nothing else, which somehow he had hoped for.
I read somewhere that the best places to eat are Yelp 2 star places where the reviewer whines about service. It suggests the reviewer wanted to give a 1 star review because they were mad but had to concede that the food was good, hence 2 stars.
And then they take 2h to get your food, you find the waiter’s entire ponytail in it, and you’re yelled at if you don’t tip 50%? Idk man, some restaurants get bad reviews for service because they have bad service. And having bad service detracts from the experience of going out to eat.
Or recipe reviews.
“I didn’t have flour, so I substituted lard. I also didn’t have sugar, so I substituted salted cod. Worst cake ever. 1 star.”
