God damn, its a fricking shit show. I love it.

It really is. I'm glad I came over to Lemmy a few days before. Makes it easier to find the humor in this jackass imploding something so many people enjoy and contribute to.

I plan to migrate over to Lemmy since this API issue got raised. Its a bit rocky but I think I can manage.

I'm kind of loving it. I grew up on local BBS and before Reddit I was on lots of content-specific forums and boards but Reddit became my primary social media and it sort of absorbed the activity from a lot of those boards. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old internet forum thing, but improved- a bit spread out and janky at times but still condensed enough so I don't have a dozen forum accounts.

Yeah I get what you mean, even though I didn't grew up with BBSes, a tad to young for that. I wholeheartedly think that those mega social media companies are a terrible idea, that now and always show their ugly face, and that socializing should be brought back to: personal homepages, federated blogs and forums and heck even federated video sharing.

Also, I still think its pretty magical that I have an account on feddit.de and can still talk/chat/discuss with you on lemmy.ml. And so can microblog/comment on various mastodon instances while only been registered on one.

Yeah as you say it's pretty magical ... although also janky. It really does show the possibilties of federation in a way that mastodon by itself never seemed to. And @[email protected] great analogy to BBSes!

local BBS

Me too! Other than the modem sound, the feel is similar, but with GFX!

Feels a bit like FidoNet, yeah‽

Arguably its even better than BBS with per-comment replies and the already mentioned only needing one account thing. I big time miss BBS forums, maybe this'll be my new home.

Any reccomendations on good... what do they call the equivalent of "subreddits" here? subinstances?
