A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

Hmm, somebody should make a Lemmy instance that just has a copy of Reddit in it. Probably somewhere hard to sue.

Wouldn't it face the same issues that 3rd party apps are?

For anything after June 30, yes, although if you're really being adversarial you could try and scrape Reddit. Everything that's already on Reddit, though? That has been archived in other places. I don't know about you, but I semi-regularly need to look at a post a few years old.

The advantage would be that it would be totally seamless. If you wanted to see me speculating about underwater aliens making non-metallic electronics you could just go to !SpeculateEvolution@fediverseredditclone.ru and it would be like anything else on here.

I wonder how many of us we need to get a community going.

I think not because federation would make it easy to mirror.
