Yup. After reading about Apollo going the way of the dino I took a quick glance over the Boost for Reddit subreddit, and while it doesn't look like they've announced their shutdown it's realistically gonna happen unless Reddit backs out last second.

I saw a thread there where someone recommended Lemmy so here I am. Gotta say so far it feels just like Reddit did, in a good way.

Even if they back out. Screw them

That's about where I am. Spez making up a blackmail/extortion accusation against the Apollo dev is just so completely damning. I have no faith left in anything the Reddit admins say at this point, and it's hard to imagine what they can do to change that.

Feels a lot better than reddit tbh. Less toxic
