I repeat: geddit.social (this instance) is not a client. Nor is this community about that. You are confused between two different things called "geddit", neither of which are alike. We have nothing to do with them.
This website - geddit.social - has nothing to do with the other - unfortunately named - reddit client for Android, nor are we affiliated with reddit in any way, nor do we code anything that accesses reddit. I promise, we aren't lying to you. You are confusing two different things based on a similar name. You can go ahead and argue the point with me but your suggestions are not going to reach their intended audience & you'll be wasting your time.
Here's the difference:
That app, also named geddit, has a github page, which you've mentioned. Did you look at their about section? It's on the right side of the page. Humour me and go look. Did you notice the website that is listed there? You might want to open it and check...because this isn't it. The two couldn't be more different visually. This website has dark mode on default. That website has a blindingly white background. The difference is extremely striking.
This website (geddit.social) is a Lemmy instance owned by stux (you may have heard of the cat who runs mstdn.social, masto.ai, mastodon.coffee, among other fun services), which is an open-source alternative to reddit, linked to other services such as Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc in something called the Fediverse, which you appear to be familiar with since you're posting from another Lemmy instance (lemmy.sdf.org). In fact, if you actually go to our website, geddit.social (humour me and go there, I'll wait), there are links at the bottom of every page that explain this is a Lemmy instance, just like the one you are using to post here.
Once again, that app and this website (geddit.social) are completely different entities (one accesses reddit, the other does not) and only share a similar name. We aren't an app or a client, let alone do we have anything to do with reddit. This is a website. Not an app. People use Lemmy apps to access this instance. Lemmy is a Fediverse server software that other apps access. I couldn't make the distinction any clearer. The name for this instance was chosen when we had no idea anything similarly named existed. It is just an unfortunate coincidence.
You are posting in !geddit@geddit.social - which is a community (on the geddit.social instance) about the instance itself (where we post news all our users should know). Nothing to do with anything that may or may not share a similar name. This is a completely different entity.
Once again, no, this website is NOT a client for reddit. In any conceivable sense. Nor do we have such a thing here.
