Oh, it's about to get far worse for reddit in short order.
I suspect that we will be seeing some very beloved third party apps that just got bullied out of reddit, available for lemmy very soon.
What the fuck is spez going to do, when he now has to compete against the look and feel of apps that make his app look like dogs shit? He can't boot them from reddit again.
The Sync app author has confirmed they're working on a Threadiverse app, and I suspect we'll get at least one more from the reddit 3PA authors.
There are also some nice ones shaping up from other developers already too.
My opinion is that without proper moderation tools, the best mods will leave or just quit moderating. Slowly the site eats itself when that happens.
Slide for reddit is working on Lemmy support as well!
Slide has unparalleled customizability imo. Definitely my favorite.
Hopefully a rif replacement is coming
Yep, rif dev was rumored to be working on it. It's a race to the finish now to see which app dev gets it first.
I've been extremely lax about my moderation these days. But the only posts getting reported are my sticky posts on where else you can find us.
These 3P app developers have millions in their audience. Millions of people who'd love nothing more than to open that app as usual on July 1st and just keep doing the same thing they did the day before.
My favourite Reddit app, Infinity, just popped a message this morning saying as of July 1, they're going subscription.
While I understand, I'm not paying to use Reddit. Even if I did, my understanding is that NFSW content won't be available, and, let's be honest, that's half the usefulness of Reddit.
So, Lemmy it is! And so far, I've got no complaints.
There's already 3 in development that I know of. 2 for Android and 1 for IOS.
God. This is the first I'm heading of Reddit staff actively organizing against Lemmy- what's being said?
Well, I'm stretching the truth just a little here. It has been reported that they're censoring any links or mentions of the Fediverse (just like Twitter did with Mastodon), but they are engaging in gaslighting about the protests.
Most recently the subs that voted to become NSFW in protest marked themselves as such (thus self-filtering for anyone not wanting to see NSFW content), however the admins removed that designation from those subs... without removing the NSFW content first! They then sent the mods of those subs threatening messages about how the mods showed NSFW content to everyone without the proper filters in place!
Not sure about censoring links but they definetly rolled back manual edits i made to about 6 months of posts and comments pointing to join-lemmy.org and lemmy.world
Wtf seriously? That’s actually the worst offense I’ve heard from them so far - that tops the killing of 3rd party apps for me. Does it suck they killed 3rd party apps? Fuck yea. I left because of it. But I also recognize it’s their site and if they want to remove 3rd party apps they are within their right. But actively changing posts/removing edits is fucking WILD to me. Absolutely it’s censorship, fuck Reddit.
Mine too. If my wife looks at my account, all the comments I made with links to Lemmy are not visible, as if I didn’t ever post them. They’re only visible to me.
I would call that censorship. Take a look at the comments here: https://lemmy.world/post/353026

If they can't handle criticism of spez, how could they feel secure about people getting directed to Fediverse sites?
I popped on earlier today following a google link, I've made one comment in the last week or so, earlier today, when someone asked where everyone's migrating to... I said lemmy.world. So we'll see if they've got some kind of search filter setup I guess if that gets altered or left alone
Some stuff I'm seeing is "But but, what if your instance admin goes crazy????" or "I just want ONE community, not a bunch of fragmented ones"
"but what if the ceo of your big centralized corporate website goes crazy?..."
Or conspire to remove credit from a dead man’s accomplishments.

What a guy. RIP
Staff? The post doesn't really specify if it's Reddit admins or users that are talking about us
They've got astroturfers in every thread on the big subs that are basically FUDing the shit out of everything that isn't Reddit. Oh Lemmy too hard, oh Lemmy too complicated, Oh Lemmy require email on signup. They have so many shills now that they had to actually start handing out six month old accounts. It's hilarious to see.
I don’t think you’re using the word gaslighting correctly
What does this actually have to do with Futurama?
For all things Futurama
Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!
Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.
