Tomorrow, reddit will be shutting off 3rd party app access. If the twitter migration is anything to go by, that means that the wave of new users coming in the next few weeks will be much bigger than the wave we saw earlier this month.
Our lead techy admin @[email protected] is also recovering from broken bones and surgery, so she will be slower to respond to issues :)
All of that being said, we’re as prepared as we can be. We’re currently running our instance on hardware with excess capacity to spare, but who knows if it will be enough.
So, good luck to all of us, and see you on the other side :)
RIF was how I found reddit in 2010. There wasn’t even an official app for a few more years.
It’s so sad how the apps got brought behind the barn and shot like they did. Sorta glad I found this community because of it. It’s feeling like how I felt when I first installed Reddit Is Fun and seeing all the small communities.
