Signed up to Lemmy today, but held off to see if the Reddit situation was going to get any better. Seems like it won't, so one big hearty fuck you to them.
I'll try and contribute as much as I can to this community.

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.

Yep, fool me once

Feels a lot better than reddit tbh. Less toxic
