    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 created a bunch of communities. I’m trying to post on them but I need help. We need more contributors.

      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.

    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.

      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 🔪

    I noticed ReddPlanet was down today. Just checked it out of curiosity. Haven’t been on Reddit in a few weeks.

    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’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

    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.

      Can’t wait for it either! hopefully just a few short weeks. In the meantime, Lift and Connect have been performing great.

    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.
