I mean let's be real: Anyone with a fraction of self-respect would walk away from this dumpster fire after being repeatedly called noise by the idiots running the website.
But on the other hand I have to admit that Spez was completely right. This did blow over rather nicely for Reddit, since any publicity is good publicity and it seems like most of it is business as usual minus actually good apps.
So basically, u/Spez was right and people really are addicts. Shame, but not entirely unexpected.
Connect for Lemmy is amazing.
There's also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.
Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.
Amazing work as always, Kuro!
It's been a long time since I saw a developer being this responsive and caring about their app.
In no particular order:
Oh, and for fucks sake: Remove that shit stain that is the official app from the universe.
Sure, but why grace the dumpster fire with traffic, when you also can just copy the relevant parts here?
Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.
Have used Reddit exclusively on Boost since 2018. This is amazing news!
Thank you Ruben!
It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.
It's a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.
When Reddit is Fun turns into Reddit is fucked.
And the sad part is that it seems like 99 % of Reddit's population don't care the slightest about that and are happily enjoying the ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage Spez wants to shove down our throats.
"Curating" makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.
