Manually performed find/replace on words like "subreddit(s)", "Reddit", "Multireddit".

This does not intelligently consider cases where saying "lemmy" or "community" wouldn't make sense, but is an initial step in de-branding from Reddit.

I had only avoided doing this so far because it'll also mean having to modify each of the different language variations too (e.g. values-zh-rCN/strings.xml) which is a bit of a pain, but if you fancy :P

I totally understand and figured that would be a concern, but I was going to submit a post to the community where you posted about this, and see if other folks who speak those languages couldn't pitch in and help.

Nice idea! It might actually be worth doing the flat replace in values/strings.xml, but also deleting all the translations that reference "redd", then we can get a translation system going. Would need to setup a replacement crowdin or something, I assume

Unfortunately I'm not actually the most familiar with Android development, I mostly do ETL python/powershell development. I did however make some posts both on Reddit and on Lemmy:

Feel free to post to either of these with updated thoughts/instructions on how you'd like to proceed.
