I’ve avoided Reddit since Sunday and am missing being able to see what’s going on without having to visit tech blogs/news sites/etc…
Decided might as well make the next jump and propel the death of Dig, I mean reddit
This is not the way. By using Reddit you are essentially giving money to the shareholders. You are fattening the rich. It is pathetic. Stop using reddit, fullstop.
You are here on Lemmy. Help the community instead of trying to redirect traffic back to reddit…
Wtf dude!? How much time since you are on Lemmy, 1 week, 2 weeks?! How much time you were on Reddit? Probably years. Imposition is not the way, of that way you are not so much difference of Reddit’ staff with the API stuff, the unique difference would that you haven’t millions and a legendary community.
I’m free to do whatever I want, using Reddit and Lemmy, share ways of still using Reddit to people who doesn’t know but they would like. Lemmy would not exists if weren’t for Reddit concept probably in a first place. You’re pathetic saying what is possible of do and what not. Luckly you don’t have power, because you would be even so much similar to Reddit staff.
Stop saying bullshit, you’re in a federated community, and freedom is the rule here, you like it or don’t, idgaf. People will do whatever they want, not because you don’t like to use Reddit anymore, no one else can use it. I will be here on Lemmy making growing it and aporting my salt’s grain, and I will be on Reddit also with Infinity and my personal API: let people decides for theirselves!! They can use both. You’re no one for decide for nobody.
I really hope Lemmy becomes a Reddit alternative. It really has so much potential. I wanna stay here.
I have signed up to so many communities on here with the hope that once Lemmy gets bigger, I can leave the ones I don’t actually want to be involved in. I also posted my first-ever meme. Let’s contribute to make this a reddit alternative!
This is the way
When Digg put business above users and reddit growth exploded it (reddit) wasn’t a great “alternative” at that time either. But at that time they were putting users first. Isn’t that what makes this (lemmy) a great alternative?
Just continue to post and make content!
Same!!
Idek what goes into his head. And at this point, it’s too scary to know.
What do you mean?
Wanted to ditch Reddit following all the nonsense around their API changes, but still wanted Reddit-esque news aggregation + discussions from somewhere.
Googling for alternatives initially led me to Beehaw, but they don’t have the sufficiently granular niche communities I wanted. Searching for communities I wanted to subscribe to led me here, and after refreshing myself on how the fediverse worked I realised I should just create a login here instead. So far, so good!
For me, LJ Dawson, the Dev of Sync for Reddit posted that he is making a Lemmy app. I was planning on leaving Reddit at the end of June, so I signed up! I’m extremely happy to be here!
Edited: messed up posting the Dev’s name. Thanks @DTFpanda@lemmy.world
LJ Dawson, lol
A fellow RiF user, do I detect?

Yeah, the drama over there is pure reality TV level right now.
Wow, that bad, eh? Haven’t been there for a month now. Just bot accounts everywhere?
I haven’t “left” Reddit yet, but I also have been avoiding the site as much as possible. If they’re going to be a terrible site, the least I can do is try to avoid going on and making them money from ads.
Or at least only doing so at home where I have my PiHole box to remove them.
I’ve noticed that Lemmy is getting more and more usable as more users join and add more content.
Um, I am desperate for them to fix their main page algorithm. I browse Lemmy cause fuck Reddit, but the main page is mostly useless.
Try sorting by “Top Day” if you haven’t already until it’s fixed.
Seems like reddit just fresher. Not clogged up with all the bullshit. Also I feel like I’m on the ground level of a reddit competitor that seems to be protected from corporate bullshit.
it was reddit banning the mods of /r/mildlyinteresting that had me sign up with lemmy an hour ago.
They are back now, but still
Ljdawson said he was making sync for Lemmy so I signed up
Yuuuuup. Where sync goes, I go
Same
I’m so excited.
People are tired of Reddit’s abusive policies and of not be heard, and this is our response. I will keep use Reddit thanks to an user which made this, and thanks to the dev of Infinity for make it open source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/
But I will remain here on Lemmy with Jerboa and see how it evolves.
You could’ve always done this, infinity has always been open source. However using this just means that you and others will be paying reddits ridiculous pricing for their own api access JUST to use infinity. Which iirc is gonna be around $25 a month per user depending on amount of use. Everytime you open that app itll be charging you for data…
This seems popular to some users now but I don’t see it going over to well when the bill comes due. Id rather take my chances going all in on Lemmy and helping support an instance with a community. Decentralization ftw.
It’s actually free to use the API below a certain limit. If you are a lurker or casual user you’ll be fine.
I’ll admit I wasn’t familiar with the free tier. But if it gains any kind of traction though it’ll go away too. They’ve vehemently shown through their actions that they want 3rd party apps gone, nsfw content gone and ads served.
Personally I’m much more excited for Sync for Lemmy.
Oh I am too, however in the mean time I have compiled a version of infinity for Reddit using my own API key so that I can keep using Reddit though a 3rd party after the 1st. If you or anyone else wants to do that as well. Here is a free Google CoLab sheet that you input your API key into and it will compile a version of the app infinity but using your own API key. If the instructions aren’t clear, hmu and I can help out.
Yeah I made the same thing. Seems really silly and sectarious, also hypocrital for me people who insults you or downvote your comments a lot because you let to know the people this alternative or also by still using Reddit. I can use both, and they before were on Reddit, so less bullshit. Due a comment like this where I linked a Colab for the same, people downvoted me -13 and I received a stupid coment… Anyways.
It is dumb when people downvote something helpful just because they disagree. I will keep using Reddit until Lemmy has as much knowledge on it as Reddit. I’ll use the browser before I’ll use the official app but at the end of the day Reddit has over a decade of good advice on niche topics and when I need to know something I’m still gonna check Reddit first. At least for the time being.
Same thought.
For me it was the total fuckery of the reddit owners. I quit twitter. I’ve put zuckbook on read only. I can do without reddit too. The internet needs to be de-oligarched.
Hear Hear!
I’m sick of the internet being only 5 websites!
I signed up and then went to bed. I’m assuming the world took that as a sign and followed me. Or perhaps I should cut down on the hard drugs, idk
If you stay on them, you’ll fit right in with a lot of the community
Keep in mind too that the expiration date for many of the mainstream third party Reddit apps is June 30
Just think of the spike in users when that rolls around in 10 days
Reddit is already turning into shit. Like literall shit, except it’s digital shit, but still shit.
Feeling horny? Visit r/horny. Oh wait, that’s christian minecraft discussions!
Wanna learn something new? Visit r/InterestingAsFuck. Oh wait, that’s interesting porn positions!
Wanna see what is going in gaming community? Just visit r/steam! Oh wait, it’s choo choo shitwreck powered by steam engines!
No wonder why people are looking for Reddit alternative, and Lemmy might be just the right option. :)
Malicious compliance at it’s finest! Screwing with the Reddit admins like that will always get a chuckle out of me
Just think of the spike in users when that rolls around in 10 days
I’m here now trying to get ahead of it.
I’m just here so i don’t get fined. created an account because the developer for my reddit app is working on One for lemmy. So figured I’d give this a try
Which app is that? Sync?
In my opinion, the output of the disastrous Zoom meeting with the moderators & community of /r/Blind .
Reddit leadership made it clear that they have nothing but contempt for their users. They essentially refused to answer essential questions for the disabled Reddit community.
I guess Spez thinks nobody will care as long as they get their fill of GIFs and pics? I have no idea. I’m not closing out my account, but whatever reddit intended to sell to me, I’m not buying it.
What happened to the blind community?
It’s terrible, but most of them have lost their sight.
( i am very sorry for this post)
too soon :)
I’m not closing my reddit account either, I feel like I should but a part of me just wants to hold on to it for some reason. I’m certainly open to deleting it in the future though.
Is there a link to this, wasn’t aware of a zoom meeting
