This truly is Reddit’s successor.
Lemmy and mastadon and the whole fedeverse are the future. We didn’t have our eyes open cause we where stuck in the Reddit world for so long. I’m learning more and more everyday and i’m loving it. So easy and so many people :P People will make this place close to reddit as they can but long live lemmy
Regardless of the success (or failure) of the blackout what’s important is to create an alternative platform to Reddit. The blackout doesn’t have much legs because of the lack of alternative. Deep inside we all know that many will just go back to reddit once the blackout will end - it’s why the importance of creating an alternative.
Keep boosting Lemmy.
i’m so glad we’re off reddit so now we can say what we really feel about spez
Apollo was the only reason i used reddit…
Same with Sync
Same with Relay
Same with RIF
Same with RedReader
Same with Boost.
Reddit is going to let RedReader still work. They need it for accessibility. Also the dev is thinking of letting you access lemmy with RedReader.
Joey for me
I didn’t even use third party apps, I just really don’t like when companies try to enforce stuff in that way. I’d love for Lemmy to grow big, and it doesn’t seem to have the same initial clunkiness and feeling of being lost that you’d have on Mastodon during the Twitter shenanigans. I’m hopeful.
It reminds me of when I first found Reddit back in the day, and just how not user friendly it was. I’m looking at the blackout like a good thing - I’ve got a little bit of that “excitement” back from finding and exploring these new places.
The biggest benefit I see so far is the lack of bots. I know there are still some bots out there but most of them are useful bots and not just karma farming bots or bots designed for propaganda.
This is truly a successor to Reddit but I think getting more people to migrate is crucial. Still not a lot of people have heard about this. We need to bring more people here.
For og reddit people. The toxic new wave can stay out.
Yeah, we’ve literally seen this forum migration happen many times in the short history of the internet. Reddit had some novel concepts in terms of evolving and democratizing the concept, and it was the best thing since sliced bread for a long time.
Federation is a reasonable evolution of the user-run, user-generated concept, which ultimately requires more freedom that a heavily monetized platform can ever deliver. I there will always be a distinction between internet media as a product, and internet media as a utility. The neat thing seems to be that the internet kind of always seems to evolve new versions of the latter when they are needed.
Haha, i feel you compeletly. I really like it so far here. The UI is intuative and the community seems to be active!
yeah but its also quite buggy from my experience so far
Yes, it needs work. I’m trying to help out with app development for an ios app, doing my part!

Like Brazil being a successor to Rome
I have a buddy who once gave me props for being able to navigate reddit with ease as silly as that sounds. I can’t even imagine showing him this…
I see a couple other comments about sign up issues and I’m having the same. Don’t see anything in my spam folder, though. Both submit buttons on the sign up/login pages just spin endlessly the last couple days. name’s same here as on midwest.social.
