    That is fantastic news.

    I’ve already deleted my reddit account, but I use RedReader primarily as a “look, don’t touch” way to view reddit anyways. RedReader allows you to customize so much that you can turn off all the voting buttons and the reply buttons, so you just get a nice minimalist reading experience, don’t have the constant tiny mental overhead of voting, and don’t risk getting tempted into impulsively wasting your time (and supporting reddit) writing comments/posts.

    Edit: being able to use RedReader for Lemmy would be wonderful, but it looks like that might be a thing in the distant future, perhaps, but not the near future.
