So, I see r/NZ is back. That’s it? What an anemic protest. I guess I’m honestly surprised more people don’t care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.

Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won’t see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.

    Most likely it’s just an issue with the software or API. Perhaps it hits a rate limit and ignores some requests.

    I doubt admins are restoring individual posts that they like. It doesn’t seem to make sense.

      I’m not too sure. They are forcing subreddits to re-open, and in the past they have edited comments in favor of reddit.

      Reddit content is very valuable, when I Google for opinions, I always add “reddit” to the query.

      Many people who reported the issue say that their profiles initially showed up as empty, but were restored a couple of hours later.
