Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
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.
Posts and comments 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.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally 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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Ever since abandoning ship I've maintained a negative (1 star) review every time there is an update for the app. My review contained no swearing or anything else that I think would break a rule.
This morning I went to update and found my review gone, and trying to submit a new one fails with a "Server error". I was able to review other apps.
No one should ever be paying reddit a subscription to use it. You're not getting any value out of it, and you're directly putting money in the pockets of one of Elon Musks friends.
Yeah, that's true. And I'm certainly not doing so. It was just a desperate plea for change, which of course I knew wouldn't happen.
Mainly I just wanted to keep the rating low.
I think this is a thing a long time ago, I don't use Google anymore, but I remember I rated YouTube back in the time (~2018) and it always got deleted. No matter what I described in the review, I suddenly visited the Play Store page and my review were gone.
Ah, it's new to me, but I'm not surprised.
Really just means that ratings are worthless.
Regarding your actual review contents, you know you can already use any app with Reddit, right? You're not asking for anything new there.
What Reddit iirc took issue with and placed a paywall on was too many requests with the same API key. Because developers would hardcode their own API key into the app, so every person using it was sending requests as them.
If you use your own API key, you won't run into any trouble with their API pricing. It's completely free. Many people have continued using Reddit with third party apps by changing the key to their own.
That's a kludge which they only tolerate because not many people are doing it - if it were really that simple then most apps would have continued development and just made each user paste in their own key at first launch. (With instructions to generate it of course) But that's not what happened.
