My initial reaction was to get pissed, but then I remembered I don’t care anymore.
Reddit policies now affect me as much as National Holidays in Mongolia.
alright Lemmy, rev up your servers
The Fediverse welcomes the future influx of more content creators!
I’m glad I left Reddit but there IS a lot of used info archived on there.
Reddit is way too ban happy with little to no recourse of moderators on a power trip
Uplifting news, the content creators should really be paid for what they post, and so should be the mods. /s
I think this is a great idea and they should implement it immediately. Spez is charting a bold new direction, fighting back against every instinct of logic or sanity.
Looking forward to the next fediverse boom.
I’ve had my account for almost 15 years. I’m a top contributor. I feel like the entire site is just filled with freaking bots now. I hate to sound like an old person yelling about the changes, but I always thought of Reddit as the Internet “TRL“ if anybody remembers that show from MTV. But just like everything else in this country, it’s becoming more and more commercialized and the freedom that once was Reddit is nearly close to gone.
Someone in the thread about this on Reddit mentioned Lemmy and I’m hoping That this is a new place to go. Been using Reddit for so long. I don’t know where else to go.
I’ve moved over two Lemmy two months (I got the feeling that I needed a Reddit alternative).
I still visit Reddit for more niche content, but for many things Lemmy works fine.
That being said, Lemmy is a lot smaller than Reddit. I believe Lemmy (all instances) only have 50K DAUs, while Reddit has 73 million DAUs, so a lot of things will be missing.
Welcome to Lemmy!
People really need to remember how easy it is to create a forum of their own. There is literally no need to pay reddit for a niche community, when one can just be created in an afternoon. Hell, you can just spin up a community on Lemmy. But of course reddit will delete and block any posts with information about moving a subreddit somewhere off-site.

Unless they charge you to do that too.
Who is “they”? You’ll need to pay for hosting, and a domain, but that’s like $5 per month and $20 per year, for one person. Nobody else would need to pay. I suppose the biggest issue is that most people don’t know how to do that anymore, and nobody wants to. It used to be something people got excited about when they were passionate about a hobby.
Sorry I misunderstood. I thought the post I was replying to was regarding just create a new subreddit, if a different sub starts charging.
But now that I’ve re-read it, it says “community” as here on Lemmy. So I misunderstood. :)
Good! It’ll hasten their demise. Long live Lemmy, bitches!
