People are tired of Reddit's abusive policies and of not be heard, and this is our response. I will keep use Reddit thanks to an user which made this, and thanks to the dev of Infinity for make it open source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/

But I will remain here on Lemmy with Jerboa and see how it evolves.

This is my first post, I just signed up. I was on reddit from the early days. I liked it then a lot more. This has that feel. I also like that it is open source - hopefully that will bring more developers.

I was there for the digg to reddit switch in 2010, and this drama feels just like déjà vu.

Reddit is fucked

All hail the new website

[–] TechnoNinja@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Hello and I'm with you too. I wish you success in developing Lemmy.

I'm going back to some older style board websites. I'm looking for a reddit replacement (deleted account there) and never knew of this site. I heard about it from Shacknews.

No idea myself but we have to remember that not all the users that come try this will stay, so I anticipate once the Reddit nonsense blows over the community will shrink a bit. I am going to stay, but I was "lemmy curious" before the reddit business.

I finally got lemmy to reset my password, so plan to use it more. Reddit takeover of subs was ridiculous, the surge is only going to continue

I'm attempting to move on from Reddit. Heard good things about Lemmy. I'm checking things out.

[–] Poggers@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Stopped using reddit after 12 years when the blackout began, and kept up with the developments through the tech news. Removing the mods and screwing around with things just because they're mad about a protest was the last straw, so now here I am!

Im really enjoying my experience here on Lemmy. Kinda like how I enjoyed reddit in the beginning

gaining critical mass?

[–] Grimlo9ic@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Wow, holy shit. Servers must be getting slammed with requests. Good thing there's lots of instances to spread the burden.

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They found put we had snacks. Specifically Bugles. Reddit didn't have any! not even enough for one hand :/

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I finally decided to make an account after a week of ignoring Reddit, what is going on over there is ridiculous at this point, Reddit should have just given 3rd party apps an exception and called it a day.

This instance gives a clue maybe?

https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.wiuf.net

It looks like it's only a day old and it has 11k users. There isn't any content on it either. There are a few instances like that, you can see them here: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They all have low MAU, 10k or so users, and low Status Count.

Quite a few are showing about 10k new users in the past day or so. Probably they're small instances without bot protection or instances made to support bots.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Can this be reported to those tech savvy enough to know what to do? Fantastic find. These instances might well be preparing bots for attack.

[–] ObligatoryOption@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's snowballing. A few friends tell a few friends, and so on, and so on, and so on...
