I can’t get rid of it, it’s obnoxious. I’ve tried filtering the element with my adblocker but it keeps reappearing. As much as I find Reddit useful (unfortunately), especially for information and discussion relating to my country, I will never install their proprietary garbage app on my phone just to use their website.
Oh well. I’ve used the Internet before Reddit existed, I’m sure I can get used to doing so again.
Like the other person said, your Lemmy experience will be a lot better once you block the tankie instances, but I hear you regarding the lack of niche communities. I want to talk about cars too, but unfortunately the “fuck cars” crowd far outnumbers us and they are everywhere on Lemmy. I can’t help that I enjoy driving; chill out, people!
