Interested in getting a feel for what people may be likely to do IF reddit reverses their decision regarding API access, or reduces access fees to a reasonable level and 3rd party apps remain sustainable.

While I know the chances of this are extreeeemely slim, until 1st July there is an ever so slight chance this could still happen.

From my perspective, the community harm is done, and those who have left prior to July 1 have left due to principles, not because their app stopped working. As such, I'd be inclined to think most of those migrators would stay here in the fediverse.

But would we see a mass exodus back to reddit if the changes were undone? It's easy to say no, but if it went back to operations as relatively normal, it may be easy to justify going back for some users.

I'd like to think I wouldn't go back. I've deleted content and account from reddit. I'll be happy here so long as there is enough userbase for some discussion.

The same thing I did when Wotc tried to invalidate the ogl, walk away from any future support of their products and find better options, which is why I'm here.

Along with most of the people here, the damage has been done in my opinion. I'd probably check in on Reddit more often, but refuse to be invested there as I was before.

I’ll live here, but I might poke into Reddit for the more obscure communities that can’t really survive a migration. Reddit knows what it wants and even if it fails this time, they’ll get sly with it and push more and more until they’re satisfied.

The biggest news is going to make it over here at this point anyway.

Im staying away from Reddit, the fediverse is really intriguing and I want to see it succeed im shredding my Reddit account on the 30th or after the reports of Reddit undeleting accounts dies down I just want to be able to keep a pic of the profile page for memory maybe post some sort of "Snoo" head count somewhere for people to show the accounts that got deleted during the migration

Edit: dont enjoy the term snoo but it gets a point across just like death by snoo snoo

Reddit is dead to me and my account is long gone. Everything I lost from reddit over the years is here. No need to go back.

Good question. I only just created an account, but I don't know if I'd go back. I used sync for reddit (apparently being ported for lemmy) so if I can't keep using that I wouldn't browse reddit on my mobile.

I just hope some of the gaming communities and their users migrate over as well a lot of the tech support and branded subreddits - googling "X vacuum issue reddit" or "dragon scale farming botw reddit" will be hard to transition from. I don't think this will happen overnight.

Likewise, I think there needs to be a better way of handling duplicated federated instances as I can see this being annoying / a confusing turn off for new users.

The way they handle made me sick. Reddit will never be the same again for me.

I'd go politely ask the Sync dev to populate the app's content feed with both Lemmy and Reddit API-driven content.
