The official community is hosted at !pop_os@lemmy.world

On June 12th, we joined the Reddit Blackout to protest against the loss of third party clients that will happen on July 1st with Reddit’s API pricing changes. There is open source software which relies on these APIs to function, as well as various third party clients that improve accessibility and UX over Reddit’s desktop and official mobile app. Some of them have better moderation tools to make managing a subreddit easier.

Many rely on our extensive history of support requests and answers on the platform for troubleshooting day to day issues on Linux and Pop!_OS, so we are going back to a public status. A better way to protest may be for users to migrate towards open source decentralized alternatives.

So during that downtime, we’ve started a community on an open source Reddit alternative, Lemmy, which also happens to be written in Rust. Those who’d like to be on an open platform can join us here as an alternative to Reddit.
