Why was PoE reddit shutdown without consulting the public? (pathofexile-discuss.com)

This honestly sucks. Other subs reached out to their members to get feedback. Why is it that the mods simply decide what to do and make the rest of us no longer have a permanent place for discussions, memes, and everything PoE? This site is hardly a replacement, as not only does the UI suck but the number of participants is almost non-existent.

lemmy and its unintuitive, ugly UI is basically a scuffed reddit at home.

The larger problems aren't really lemmy either. Here's a list of larger issues: -Moderators took it upon themselves to make an executive decision without consulting the sub members, which basically IS the community itself. -There was no proper transition plan, which helped contribute to this barren wasteland that you see. Maybe the mods are inexperienced in moving from one thing to another, but a single sticky post is NOT a sufficient form of information let alone an agreed upon plan. -All of our posts, interactions with each other, comments from GGG, etc. are all on reddit. There's history there, and it means something to many of us. Clicking on a shit link to try to browse the past isn't the same thing; it is an absurdly detached form of "legacy."

You're showing your ignorance on what is the actual new thing.

Lemmy is just a web application. The actual thing that makes it all work is called ActivityPub.

It's why Lemmy and Mastodon users can communicate and subscribe with each other despite being on two different pieces of software. It's why both Lemmy and Kbin.social are interoperable despite both being separate Reddit replacements programmed by two different people. Every platform that implements ActivityPub can freely interact with all other platforms that implement ActivityPub.

It would be like if you could subscribe to a Youtube video, follow a Twitter user and reply to a Facebook post with your Reddit account. The underlying protocol is the important thing, not the web application that you're using to interact with it. If you don't like how Lemmy looks you can use Kbin, or Mastodon, or PeerTube, or whatever application you want. They all work together.

You're looking at this like Lemmy is just Reddit but on another server, but that is not at all what is happening here.
