I think rexxit is the catalyst to get the platform ready. I don’t think rexxit is a one and done thing. It’s gonna be more of a constant trickle, and lemmy is in a very good place to absorb more users. I browsed /r/all today, and saw many comments of people saying the frontpage sucks because there’s no content. Spez might like to pretend there’s no impact to reddit, but there’s certainly going to be a big impact at least in the near term.

Just make sure to go back in a day or two to make sure your comments/posts stay deleted. Reddit restored all my posts/comments that I edited using Power Delete Suite back to their original content.

May be they already realize it, meaning, they saw all the popular communities already created here, and would much rather stay there as mods.

I didn’t know api changes means 3rd party apps no longer can show nsfw content. Nobody’s going to pay a subscription and not be able to see stuff that they can see on the official app. Looks like reddit is giving all 3rd party app developers a shitty deal whichever way you cut it.

Yeah I wouldn’t have ever signed up for lemmy if this api thing hadn’t come about. This is my first fediverse experience. I was pissed at reddit, but now I don’t care about reddit one way or another. Lemmy has gained enough users to sustain itself even if there is no more mass migration. There is an active community here that will help lemmy grow organically over time.

I don’t think anybody can say beehaw is in any way representative of lemmy.ml politics. As far as I can see, it’s the farthest thing from lemmy.ml or any other politics on either spectrum. I actually think beehaw is a fine example of how independent different instances can be.

This happening in the middle of the API gate seems like a pretty dumb move, even for Reddit.

I don’t get this weird need to be contrary to everything, doesn’t it get exhausting?

This fediverse instancing thing needs a lot of getting used to. I created the same account on both places, and now need to make sure which account is active based on which site I clicked the post on. I suppose the solution is to log out of one of the servers and just stay logged in to the other.

Yeah that seems like a very important safety feature. Any idea why Tesla went against that to a shatter proof glass? It’s not like this is a presidential suv or something
