Seems that someone at Reddit decided to grant read access to RIF, this morning I opened the app just for kicks and it wouldn’t load anything. Well I tried again after lunch (Europe CET time) and it could access the front page but I was logged out. Trying to login shows a different logon page and even with valid credentials gives out a ‘Bad request’ response.
That means they are not just feeling the heat, they are probably burning really bad.
I was here then as well. I created a new community, created a post, it got a random upvote. Turns out that simply making a post meant I made the front page of lemmy.world!
Each day the fediverse has gotten almost twice as busy as it was the day before. I feel like within another two weeks I’m not even going to miss reddit at all LOL.
