      I knew it was coming, but I still wasn’t ready. Gonna keep it on my phone screen if not only because it’d look so fucking weird without it.

        It’s wild having never been on digg and hearing people talk about the exodus for years, and now being part of the next one haha

    RIP.

    Relay is transitioning to a subscription model, but this whole thing has rubbed me the wrong way so I won’t be using it.

      I wonder if the sub will include NSFW, but I doubt it. Imagine being rate limited browsing Reddit and no NSFW posts.

        the API itself won’t contain nsfw from what I’m aware of so it literally is just to continue using the app that is now only slightly better than the official one :/

          Well, it’ll be rate limited, so you could potentially hit a limit for the month, or pay more for their higher rate tier that he’s working on.

        It won’t, it’s not possible to access sexually explicit NSFW posts through the API. The dev has confirmed it.

      Yeah I debated HARD on that one of for no reason other than to give dbrady money for his dedication to the community.

      But ultimately, I don’t want to give Reddit my money, and that is the unfortunate side effect to giving him money for the app

        I want to wait and see how much the subscription is. I can easily add another $5 or less to my list of monthly subs. Any more than that, and I might have to call it a day.

        I’m in a lot of niche but active communities on Reddit. Lemmy just isn’t there yet for me.

      The dev behind sync is making a new sync for Lemmy. So that’s something to look forward to!

        Sync worked flawlessly for me for over a decade. Would be more than happyy to pay for it again!

      I really want to believe you’re the real Margot. The idea of AAA-listers being early adopters to super nerdy, niche web platforms like Lemmy tickles me.

    Had just gotten off work and was preparing to smoke and scroll Reddit as my usual way of unwinding down, and Apollo was dead. Decided to see what the fediverse was as all about and download WefWef and I got say, it’s scratching the itch pretty good.

    It’s been a hell of a ride for sure. Infinity was my choice, and they’re moving to a subscription model. I wish the dev the best of luck.

    I don’t mind paying a sub to support, but spez really soured me on Reddit as a whole.

    Hello Lemmy!

    i’ve used bacon reddit for five years. I stopped using I when I check old.reddit and saw the offline message that everyone would be greeted with. I refreshed the app and saw it for myself. And I saw it all from my desk, the same place I saw every single world even from the past decade.

    I’m done. Fuck reddit, I hope Steve chokes on his IPO, because if he really cared Arron Shwartz would still be alive.
