I find this amazing. I hope Lemmy takes over as the one Reddit alternative. As I’ve been experimenting with it today I think it’s on an amazing growth path and hopefully more streamlined communities will be setup too!

    I really hope that no matter happens in reddit, the blackouts lead a critical mass of people to here. At this point even if the Reddit owners turn around and revert all intended changes, it feels like u/spez crossed too many lines for anyone to undo the damage.

      I think they crossed too many lines. I can’t speak for all, but I’m staying and trying to be more active. There will be a tipping point and I don’t mind waiting it out. Eventually enough users will make it great. I like the decentralized theme.

      I think they almost certainly won’t. People already using reddit designs will stick around. That’s okay though, I think enough will come that we can stay *here

        Well, I had been using official reddit app until the shitstorm happened - it’s not about “oh the app I like is closing - I’ll leave” and rather about the company being… well, a corporate shitout without any care for it’s users. For me personally that is.

      I will at the very least keep using Lemmy as an addition to Reddit from now on. Whether I switch entirely depends on how big the userbase grows.
