(Discussion) Would you pay for Reddit Premium IF it allowed you to continue using your favorite app? (lemmy.ml)

I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn't want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.

Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?

I am really working on making Lemmy work. It's slowly getting there for me...learning curves. I just miss the subreddits I had for my niche hobbies. It really bums me out.

yeah, it's a bummer. on the other hand, it's a nice reminder not to put all one's eggs in one, corporate-owned basket. what happened to Reddit can happen to Discord, too. or you can get your Google account banned without an option to appeal.

i think over the next couple of months/years it will definitely get better as the community here grows. in the meantime, start a community you miss and post some stuff there!
