They must not be on that much. I don’t know how you could have missed every blackout post in the last week.

Considering how many thousands of subreddits are closed down, and how many others have posts restricted but show a sticky with info, that’s quite an accomplishment!
Friend of mine didn't know about the blackout. They almost fell out of their chair when I told them. Sweet summer child...
Go up to him, whisper "the narwhal bacons again", and slip him a piece of paper with https://join-lemmy.org/ on it.
Approach in a trench coat and fedora - “Eyy kid. You’s ever hoid of da Fedivoise?”
this just brought back memories of better times.
/r/outoftheloop stayed open but locked with a sticky about the blackout. Hopefully that'll help some people
Honestly that’s probably for the best.
Eli5 is up too. They put a message up in solidarity but didn't actually shut down. There's a lot of very confused people in there asking questions.
IIRC they announced they would stay open specifically so people could ask about the blackout.
I did it guys. I officially moved Reddit is Fun out of my home buttons on my phone and replaced it with Jerboa for Lemmy. Clicking that button is muscle memory. I've opened it like 10 times today on accident.
I rat-brained and clicked my shortcut (now deleted) and actually got the "UH OH REDDIT IS DOWN AND IT'S YOUR FAULT, JERK" picture a couple times, rofl. Seems like they're getting ddosed too, or y'know regular shitty reddit responding to any traffic
