This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’ve always preferred mobile sites to apps. Not sure why. Maybe I just like to use Safari to manage all that I’m checking out.
But I stand with developers. Even Balmer knew developers are a major key to success. I’m not interested in using a site with such hostile ownership.
Fuck spez.
Before Reddit shutdown the apis I used a tool that deleted my entire history. I think this move on Reddit's part is just the beginning, very similar to Twitter. Honestly any platform that gets to large tends to forget itself.
used to use reddit sync.. deleted my reddit account now. shame, it was a really active site, but this is a good equivalent and it won't get spezzed or eloned. I can just move server if I feel like it.
I mean let's be real: Anyone with a fraction of self-respect would walk away from this dumpster fire after being repeatedly called noise by the idiots running the website.
But on the other hand I have to admit that Spez was completely right. This did blow over rather nicely for Reddit, since any publicity is good publicity and it seems like most of it is business as usual minus actually good apps.
We'll have to see what the long-term looks like. This was never going to be an instant death for reddit, but it absolutely could be the beginning of a slow decline into irrelevance. Digg never went offline, it just became useless
Looks like I'm from the minority of people who browsed Reddit on Firefox Android. Although I lost nothing, I like the smaller cohesive community feeling of Lemmy
To me, Apollo WAS Reddit. Period. When Apollo shut down, Reddit shut down.
I miss r/Cricket with the massive community of Indian Redditors, they are so funny and quick witted, so it was a quiet one this week in the small Cricket sub (or whatever you call it). But glad to get the ball rolling with Lemmy.
Mod for a medium-sized city subreddit, here. I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to be able to keep modding for it, now that apps like Apollo and RIF are dead. It is functionally impossible to mod effectively with the official app (let alone the mobile site).
I'm not quite ready to just abandon the city community I spent so much time assisting - I mean, they're my friends and neighbors, not just my subreddit subscribers. But if they move to Lenny en masse, I'll join them, and say goodbye to Reddit permanently.
Why not get ahead of the curve and start moderating/start a community here already?
The positivity and enthusiasm on lemmy is so refreshing and each community is growing quickly. It’s like the days of Reddit when it was young.
I’m a part of that group. I see 24 people wish I’d kick rocks haha, I get it.
Look, I’m sure most of the refugees agree with me. If we don’t fit in we’ll leave.
So far I’m digging Lemmy. I wish it was more active, but if it’s gonna grow it will.
It broke my heart to leave Reddit after 15-16 years, but it’s not that same place any more any way.
So, hello fellow Apollo refugees.
Well I just stopped going to reddit. The only way O used reddit was apollo. I put lemmy icon on the aplllo place cos I kept unconsciously clicking it even though I knew it wont work.
Agree. The more I play around and get comfortable with Lemmy the more I realize I don’t need to “grieve” the loss of Reddit
I deleted my Reddit account right after I noticed Apollo stopped working. Mastodon and Kbin are filling the void nicely and I find I don't miss Reddit at all.
I was on Sync for Reddit on andrioid. Today I officially deleted my reddit account. The reason given "u/spez"...
I havent gone back since I've made my account. I've blocked reddit.com at the DNS level on my network and I'm avoiding the platform. I like the updates about the situation here but Honestly it would be amazing if they could mirror posts instead of link the original source since half of the posts just expect you to visit the r/sub it happened in which I refuse to do.
Well, i walked away once my BaconReader stopped working. I wasnt going to use the Reddit app, or even get into the habit because it isn't that good.
Now we wait for them to kill old.reddit and Reddit will finally be the low-energy TikTok clone Spez wants it to be.
Another former Redditor that walked away as soon as Apollo stopped working. I will never look back!
I'm still reading /r/boxoffice (on desktop using old.reddit) so that I can follow the Summer of Flops, but that's about it. If a community exists and is reasonably active on both Reddit and Lemmy/kbin, I won't touch the Reddit version.
