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.
10 years here as well. Was sad opening it up and seeing nothing, even though I knew it was coming.
I don't remember hiring a ghost writer for my autobiography, but you got all the details right!
Sync just stopped for me sooooo here I am.
RIF just stopped too. RIP.
Yep. The bridge is burned. Theres no going back now. Fuck Steve Huffman
RIP sync
I rode the Apollo train right to the end, about ten minutes ago. So long, Shitty CEO, please let the door hit you twenty times on the way out.
BaconReader went down too and I finally decided to make an account here. Interested to see how this goes but I know I won't be using the official reddit app
Now Twitter shitting itself in the name of forcing subscriptions is causing a mass migration to Mastedon. The Fediverse is going to get incredibly popular....fast.
I could deal with not having reddit sync, but opening twitter today and seeing that I have a tweet ration made me immediately sign up for lemmy. I imagine a lot of people are similar
The reddit app I used stopped working yesterday (yes I know why but it's funnier to pretend I don't) so here I am! Trying to figure out how lemmy works in the context of the larger fediverse.
Sync has stopped working for me now. Looking forward to the future on Lemmy!
On that note, jeroba throws an error every time i open it about how this instance is older than the lowest supported version, but it seems like i can still use most of the sites functinality? Just thought i'd mention that
Yep, that's a screw up by the Jerboa devs. If we upgraded to 0.18 we would lose captcha, and version 0.18.1 with captcha hasn't been released yet. So there is no way for us to safely upgrade to the version Jerboa wants just yet.
I switched from Jerboa to Thunder today. It's so much nicer, but still missing some features. The web app Wefwef is pretty nice too.
Well, rif is gone, so now reddit is too. I hope this place and others on lemmy grow to have vibrant and flourishing communities
I was gonna keep lurking Reddit until Sync shut down, now I'm on Lemmy. Took me a little bit to figure the platform out tbh, having third party apps for it now seems to be great.
It's a good time to encourage those who can afford it to donate a couple of bucks to your home instance operator for server costs, etc. :)
Was waiting for Narwhal to break and it never happened. Turns out the dev got a deal to not pay anything until he can release a ‘Narwhal 2’ that’s subscription only. Wasn’t an Apollo user but the dev got shafted and reddit didn’t offer anything close to what the Narwhal dev did. Still deleted my account as planned and deleted their app off my phone.
Yeah I saw that too, spez is a piece of shit, did you also see all the lies he made up about the Apollo dev? It was so childish lol
Honestly, it's really hard to say what will happen. I do think there's gonna be an exodus from reddit, however it's hard to say where people will go after that. kbin has been coming up in discussions about reddit alternatives, but same with some of the other federated setups. I've been searching for the past week for something that looks/feels like reddit and this is the closest thing so far. I will say, hopefully since it's going down on a Friday, there might be a lull until Monday before people really start coming in.
Sync died :(
Give Thunder a shot, at least until Sync for Lemmy releases (and stabilizes)
Exciting times! And get well soon Kaity!
Good luck to the admins, and welcome to all the reddit refugees.
I kept my reddit account until today, coping that Reddit will go back on their word and allow Apollo to continue working. Granted, it didn't. So I looped shreddit with a PowerShell script and sealed the deal today and just put the final nail in the coffin and deleted my account. Guess it's Lemmy from now on.
get well soon @[email protected] !
and good luck to the server and admins!
hopefully things go smoothly enough :)
I invade! I'm sad about the small communities that are dying but I hope I can be a part of new ones here!
I stepped away from that website years ago, saw voat come and go, and am giving this a shot. So far, it checks all the right boxes! Welcome one and all.
Heal-up, @supakaity. All best wishes to your body's restoration work.
Get well! Hopefully it won't be TOO bananas since I like the quietness without all the riff raff and bigotry of the other sites :P
Hi, I'm one of the RiFugees, using the same name I did on Reddit. This looks like my place on lemmy for now, thanks to all who had the foresight to set it up!
Apollo and RIF already stopped working, so I’m not sure if the influx of users will increase that much tomorrow.
Goodbye Baconreader, hello blåhaj
Good luck for the admins, the coming days migth be chaotic
