You know it's funny, I thought I would be sad to see Reddit go but I've been lurking here on Lemmy for a day or two and I've realised that Reddit actually was a pretty toxic environment a lot of the time.
I will miss some of the long running in-jokes (broken arms, coconuts etc.) but overall maybe moving on from Reddit is a good thing.
I hope Reddit doesn't die entirely though. It does have some uses, particularly if you need help on a. particular topic. The specialist subreddits have a large amount of knowledge available through their subscribers and I've often turned to them for help on a tech issue when I have something I can't answer with a quick Google search (for example, a weird issue with Sonarr which wasn't covered by the *arr wiki) and it would be great if this doesn't go away.
What I am sad about is seeing the demise of some great 3PA (I was an Apollo user). The amount of work put in by the devs is huge, and this is their livelihood being destroyed. So for folks like Christian I do feel bad.
I'm interested to see how Reddit comes out of the other side of the blackout. Wait and see I guess.

Blimey I've not heard that phrase in a long time. Welcome fellow refugee!
Thank you very much for this meme. Gonna try and bury that one deep into my memory so I never forget :D

I've been active on reddit for 8 years and I have no idea what those in-jokes are. Care to fill me in?
Oh man, idk about the broken arms one but the coconut one is LEGENDARY

Broken arms is legendary as well, tbf
What's the broken arms about? I would just look it up but it would benefit the site to share it here!
Good god, I suppose you're right. Basically some dude posted an AMA about how he broke both of his arms when he was 14 and his mom would help get him off.

Jesus fucking Christ, what is wrong with people. That was definitely an... Interesting watch.
How does that video only have 15 likes?
Because up until now everyone would just link to the actual post but now it's down so I'm glad these youtube videos are still around now for sure! Also I am sad to see Reddit go BUT I like the idea of Federation much better so, all for the best!
Sure. :)
Here's a link to some info about the broken arms story: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/reddit-broken-arms-story
Going forward any posts which vaguely related to incest or broken arms would invariably have comments referring to the original story.
As for the coconuts, there was a TIFU post about a guy who made a hole in a coconut and used ti to pleasure himself repeatedly. iirc he'd use it and then store it in his bedroom and one day he put his dick in it and it came out covered in maggots.
This link is dark but in case it comes back up: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/6rr6ay/tifu_by_cumming_into_a_coconut/?st=JL9NG1AP&sh=cfe1e15a
There was then just a long running joke when people mentioned coconuts....
Thank you! With context I actually do recall the broken arms one. The coconuts was new to me though
Broken arms was something about a teenager who had broken both his arms. I forget the exact way the conversation arrived at this but the joke is that his mom would help him jack off since he couldnโt anymore.
