On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced a policy change that will kill essentially every third-party Reddit app now operating, from...

If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…

    Agreed. We’re here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.

    Just subscribed here and want to say I completely support you doing an indefinite blackout.

    /r/Piracy and /r/FMHY were one of my favorite communities of Reddit, I’m so glad they are here in Lemmy!

    Sounds good to me. The people participating in piracy are the type to quickly adapt to changing technology. Let’s embrace this opportunity.

    Well, I hope this means that all those who followed this subreddit will come over here because, in the end, if Lemmy provides enough content to be a Reddit successor, it will succeed but, if it becomes a mere shadow of what was available there, it’ll fade away just like some of the “Twitter replacement” platforms have.

          I’m brand new this week to Lemmy/Beehaw/Mastodon/kbin/pixelfed (so new that I’m still trying to figure out what is just another name for the same thing or a client or what), and Jerboa is working very well for me on Android!

      Sync for Reddit is thinking of working on Lemmy support. If the big apps move to Lemmy, it could push a lot of traffic to it and keep the exodus going. Encourage it on syncs GitHub and discord server.

      Never thought about how this relates to net neutrality. Reddit was kind of becoming a “common carrier” for information, but as a centralized source it’s in their interest to filter content for money’s sake. Here in the fediverse the communities (and their data) are cloned but constantly updated across many independently owned servers. So no one server owner can ever really steer the discourse. We just need an official way to migrate a community in the case an instance goes down/stops meeting the needs of the community.

      Remember Lemmy’s growth starts with you, post your favourite things, talk about your favourite things.
