Why the fuck did they even remotely think this would be a good idea anyway? There is literally 0 good will towards reddit right now and for good reason.
I’m on Lemmy now, so actually it was a brilliant idea
I just checked and my account on lemmy is 3 years old, I was waiting for all of you. At moments lemmy looked like it will take of by it self, but last few months was pretty quiet. I hope this is the push this community needs to succeed.
Reddit got too big for my taste since digg joined in, I don’t think this will kill it ( they have the data how many people is using it outiside official apps), but let’s make space out of it.
We just need a easy to use, beautiful mobile client and so many people will switch over to it.
One can only dream that these canceled 3rd party clients might join some day. Hopefully some will be opensource or they decide to support any other platform.
It would’ve been great if they just collectively change to something else.
The Tafkars API might be helpful in that: Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted). To quote,
- I’ve been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that’s needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it’s open source.
Do you expect this is a reflection of how Reddit will handle relations with its investors?
Holy shit, they killed him right there. They have put the thread in “sort by new” mode and I bet it’s just to bury that bomb as deep as they can.
Apollo didn’t auto switch it for me so it was at the top lol. Of course Spez ignored that one. He actually took a shot at Christian in another comment
Saw that. Glad lemmy is taking off.
Same. I just started today and I’m having fun with it. Feels like when I just started Reddit. Definitely not as many communities but I feel like it’ll get there.
My favourite part is when Christian
I’ve never tried Apollo, and haddent heard of it until the reddit api stuff happened, but I fully respect everything I’ve seen it’s dev do sense
While I appreciate Spez being burned at the stake, why are there so many fucking awards on things. People know that those directly contribute to Reddits revenue right?
I hope most of them are those random free awards Reddit gives out sometimes
If there is a god then maybe.
unfortunately I think we’re pretty certain that god is dead and we killed him so…
