It is rather disappointing, to say the least. I was reading /r/technology and there are a ton of posts to the tune of, fuck you, I just want my official Reddit app to work. It really bums me out, but I guess the silver lining is that those scabs are exactly the trash we probably don’t want on Lemmy.

Looking at this thread in r/technology, it sure looks like most of the newer Redditors were just pissed by the blackout and don’t care about Reddit’s changes. That suggests to me that Reddit is beyond saving.

I think this is very disappointing, and exceptionally selfish, to split up some of the largest Lemmy communities while a mass Reddit exodus is ongoing. We should be sticking together and trying to grow the Fediverse as a whole, rather than trying to wall off any one single community at this point. That said, I hope this is the end of this approach, and that smaller instances, particularly ones that support a particular community won’t be pushed aside as well (hello from Lemmy Portugal).

I can’t say I’m shocked, but I am disappointed. But at the same time - Lemmy/Kbin is the answer. This is the way.

$19 billion seems high.

I’m all-in on Lemmy and hope you all will stick around too. I blew away my Reddit account and all my post history today.

Sweden’s response:

This is an incredibly selfish, dipshit move. They’re trying to prioritise the growth of their own instance at the expense of Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole, at a time when we should all be banded together to accept the massive influx of departing Redditors.

Could they have handled this whole situation any worse?

Fuck Reddit. But honestly I’m less and less invested with each passing day. I re-opened Apollo today and it’s already starting to feel old, foreign. I guess that means Lemmy is home now.

I reluctantly created a bunch because I want to have those conversations. I figure with time we can always call for volunteers and appointment help as needed. I’m hopeful that moderating a board on Lemmy will require somewhat less effort than Reddit due to the friendlier atmosphere and lower volume.

This is amazing news. I’m thinking we’ve reached critical mass where it’s going to be self sustaining and worth using.

I hope that’s true. But on the other hand, these zombified “endless summer” guys are exactly who we don’t want to make the jump to lemmy, right?

My home Lemmy doesn't seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like !tech@kbin.social it just never resolves. :-/

It’s exceptionally selfish to cut apart the community and try to promote your own instance while the Lemmyverse as a whole is experiencing a mass influx of users. This will create confusion and frustration at a time that we should be rolling out the red carpet as a community for the Reddit exodus.

This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.

Appoint more moderators on your own instance.

Reddit is deaddit. Long live the glorious Lemmy-Kbin Continuum.

They say the next GallowBoob has already been born...

And what does that make Android’s whole point? 😉

Dave Chappell cocaine meme: Y’all got any more of them… shitposts?

Wait what, seriously? This early into the Lemmy saga they cut off the two largest instances from each other? What the hell are they thinking?

Interesting context. Thanks for sharing:

No kidding! It’s a small community, but very friendly, and thus far high-quality in terms of discussions!

I know it doesn’t make sense, but can’t blame the guy, he probably went to school in Florida

What? Can’t they get defederated if it’s this obvious?

https://browse.feddit.de/ Is a global list of communities across instances, other than that you could try watching !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Check out /c/macgaming for example - I bet https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming doesn’t work but https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming@lemmy.world does, right?

Yea I mean, no wonder the companies have no incentive to avoid a broken day one release. The internet never learns.

I’m stumped, not sure what I can do without help from the admins to look into it

Having already rather violently shot himself in both feet, spez has started aiming for his other body parts.

Lmfao! These are the bowel movements of the starship Fediverse.

This has happened to a bunch of the communities I created on Lemmyworld. I’ve been trying to ask for help - have created some threads about it and tried DMing the admins - but have never gotten a reply. Not sure what recourse I have, but I get a lot of DMs from users telling me it’s broken.

It does look like the admins will have to address this judging by the GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3075

Haha, core memory unlocked. SHOOT THE MONKEY!!! 🎯🎯🎯

That would be https://lemmy.world/c/mobiledev@lemmy.world specifically

If people don't understand you, just say it louder and with more energy. Federate! FEDERATE! F E D E R A T E !!!!!!!!

This is actually really cool. Sounds like calling it a "DLC" is far short of the reality. I picked it up on release and played like 5 hours or so maybe, but when I tried it again a few days ago, I had no idea what I was doing anymore. Might be time to start a new game and give it a fresh try once the new DLC lands.

As for the moderation comment, I'm trying to mitigate this slightly by having an account with the same nick on 2-3 instances and modding myself on my communities on all of them. My hope is then if one of the identities goes away, I still have access from another one.
