I hope we get better content. I’m really tired of all the posts on the frontpage being meta. Like i had to scroll to find anything about the student loan news. I go to reddit and boom I get actual content still.
… i want conversations about things that aren’t lemmy or reddit. … memes are cool but man most of the frontpage that isn’t meta is memes. … Fingers crossed it gets better soon.
I agree… but this is probably the last big reddit thing for a while, so I think the reddit and lemmy stuff will die down from now
I’m posting often in foodporn and my little communities.
I joined Lemmy during the blackout. Obviously it was crazy for a few days, but the last week and a half has been news, memes, and real conversations. Really enjoying it here so far!
It’ll come. Early days of reddit I remember being annoyed at all digg posts.
The “hot” front page STILL has posts from days ago.
I give it 3 days before people cave and go back. People will always find a way to get their dopamine fix. If lemmy doesn’t have what they want, suffering through the shitty Reddit app will be a cakewalk compared to giving up the habit altogether
Man what a bummer. Just deleted my 13 year old account.
I’ve now been tricked twice into breaking my Reddit boycott just to check and see if Infinity still works or not, and it still does.
Maybe Infinity just has enough fewer users than something like Apollo that Infinity hasn’t reached the request limit to where it’s been shut off yet.
(I don’t actually mean I was tricked. ;) )
Currently you can type libreddit.hu/r/ in front of any subreddit and avoid Reddit directly, not sure what’s happening to that domain with the changes.
I meant that I loaded up Infinity specifically to check and see if Infinity still worked or not. Not to access any particular Reddit content. But Infinity still worked for me after I first saw this thread.
Edit: Ah, and I just realized I might have misunderstood you, not the other way around. Sorry about that.
Got the message on BR about an hour ago.
I had been a Baconreader Premium user for 10 years, kinda sad to see it go.
Same, definitely a bummer. The official reddit app is so awful. Lemmy it is…
This is so short sighted by the Reddit C suite. It makes literally no sense for them to kill these apps when every argument they made for killing them was in bad faith.
20 million a year? That’s wild, shame to see apps start to fall.
Right?! And then when being asked if they could maybe charge $10 million (or give people 6 months to figure things out), they just said no. I can’t remember another company that blatantly cut off all partner relationships like that.
I think the reasoning is that Reddit didn’t realize these *were *partner relationships. They thought these apps were just taking and not actually helping.
Reddit didn’t even just say no, but framed the $10m comment as Christian threatening Reddit 🔪
Been a redditor since 2010, RiF user from about 2015 on, then Apollo user since 2020. There’s a few work related subs I’ll still visit occasionally on a web browser (using old.reddit of course) but other than that I’m officially done.
I noticed ReddPlanet was down today. Just checked it out of curiosity. Haven’t been on Reddit in a few weeks.
I deleted my Reddit account.
Not going back.
But it’s sad…
Boost is currently up, but they announced they’d be shutting down by tomorrow anyways. At least Lemmy / Kbin seem to be decent replacements so far. Here’s hoping they continue to fill with lots of new interesting discussions and then I’ll be done with Reddit for good.
Rip sync. You were the best.
Looking forward to the Lemmy version
I was still using Slide, I was hoping it was under the radar enough that it would squeak by but nope. Goodbye Reddit. I was user 4163 16 years ago, and now it’s time to get the fediverse up and going.
Slide for Lemmy already has an alpha version
I’m here from using Joey for Reddit. I’m surprised it seems like it wasn’t as popular as the other third party apps. It was great for me
Sad moment in time
