RedditIsFun is down, so I am out. Used it for the 10 years I was there, and don't like the "New Reddit" they've been creating for monetization-sake.
I don't remember hiring a ghost writer for my autobiography, but you got all the details right!
Freelancing my ghostwriting skills... they're not honed enough to charge for yet. Haha
10 years here as well. Was sad opening it up and seeing nothing, even though I knew it was coming.
Yeah. It's bittersweet for sure. I used to thoroughly enjoy reddit 5 or so years ago... and at the risk sounding like a crotchety old man, "it's not as good as it once was!" Things change, and I'm eager to see if lemmy is as good as it is in theory. Federated site sounds so futuristicly positive!
Was worse because they closed it down at like 5pm on the 30th where Reddit is based. I was hoping it would last till midnight :/
So I was going to go check and make sure Joey wasn't working and well lol it's up. Also their subreddit mentions red reader being up. What's that about?
Yup, same. Been on it since 2011 or so. I'm transitioning out of that space. Trying to find the most user-friendly Lemmy experience, atm.
I'm using jerboa, and it's been... okay, so far. Not a vast array of choices for mobile, but I'm optimistic.
Same, I've had a reddit account for 8 years, but I lurked since maybe a couple of years since it's inception. Used RIF for maybe 6 years.
I hate what reddit has become. I'm not someone who regularly participates with any communities, so I cannot really be relied upon to generate content, I'm a perpetual consumer rather than a producer.
I'm just looking for somewhere that gives me access to the latest news about the things I care about. So far Lemmy seems to have a lot if promise!
Yeah! It gives me a good vibe. Seems to hit upon what you're looking for too, so I hope you end up enjoying it!
Do you have any advice on finding the subreddit equivalents? I followed a lot of hyperspecific subs like FortniteLeaks and Indiettrpg design and lfg stuff, and I've no idea how to find things like that here
Every instance seems to make a asklemmy or copy of other popular Reddit subs, so everything is spread out. I bet we just have to wait a bit to see where people will post, how much server power instances needs, which ones will survive and so on.
Interesting times indeed.
