To those downvoting: save the downvotes for comments that aren’t productive, this is a pretty reasonable answer

The comment also highlights this same point. The different UI’s make it so that everyone can have an experience that they enjoy, mobile and web.

For example, we have these:

Uptime history at status.lemmy.ca

Mlmym interface at old.lemmy.ca

Voyager interface at voyager.lemmy.ca

Photon interface at photon.lemmy.ca

Alexandrite interface at alex.lemmy.ca

        None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.

    Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.

        As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.
        
        Edit: Downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

        One of the project maintainers is working towards keeping this project alive to some extent: #836
        
        and it’s literally just one of dozens of alternative frontends for reddit.

    It was borderline, but I found it to still be true
    
    People made their own frontends, which could then hosted officially by the instance with the resources to go with it.
    
    That doesn’t happen with Reddit, where the alternative frontends are run separately and the usefulness varies

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
