I find it funny that a 3rd party app can be "profitable" but reddit cant be profitable without alienating a sizeable chunk of their userbase.

Reddit has increasingly become a cesspit of racism and bigotry anyways, and I find Im going there less and less.

I need to get used to how lemmy works and find my 3d printing people here.

but reddit cant be profitable without alienating a sizeable chunk of their userbase

Do those API prices make Reddit profitable? I highly doubt it.

I'd never repeat their claims as if they were true. It's just bullshit reasoning. Mismanagement.

Heres a community for you https://lemmy.world/c/3dprinting

and here's a sh.itjust.works like to the same subreddit so you don't have to jump through hoops to subscribe to it.

Theres a way to link “instance agnostic” but im unsure

I mean, there kind of is. just like in reddit you could just type /r/subreddit, here you can type /c/community, and if you want it to link to a community on another instance its the obvious /c/community@instance which is now agnostic no matter which instance you find the post from.

edit: nvm, I thought that was how that worked, and looking at the lemmy issue tracker I thought that's what was suggested, but upon trying it, it doesn't seem to auto link like reddit does at all. so 🤷
