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 :)
Same, I’ve had a reddit account for 8 years, but I lurked since maybe a couple of years since it’s inception. Used RIF for maybe 6 years.
I hate what reddit has become. I’m not someone who regularly participates with any communities, so I cannot really be relied upon to generate content, I’m a perpetual consumer rather than a producer.
I’m just looking for somewhere that gives me access to the latest news about the things I care about. So far Lemmy seems to have a lot if promise!
Yeah! It gives me a good vibe. Seems to hit upon what you’re looking for too, so I hope you end up enjoying it!
Do you have any advice on finding the subreddit equivalents? I followed a lot of hyperspecific subs like FortniteLeaks and Indiettrpg design and lfg stuff, and I’ve no idea how to find things like that here
Every instance seems to make a asklemmy or copy of other popular Reddit subs, so everything is spread out. I bet we just have to wait a bit to see where people will post, how much server power instances needs, which ones will survive and so on.
Interesting times indeed.
