Just checking the vibe. I see that this community doesn't have much activity, but maybe people are interested in migrating here amidst the reddit controversy.

I can't even remember if I subscribed to r/archlinux over there, I've eradicated my account now so it doesn't really matter. The important bits are (1) I'm an Arch user, amd64 and arm7hf mainly. (2) I'm subbed to this community. May it live long and prosper!

This is my ~/

[–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely!

[–] ZachAR3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Planning on it for the most part, likely to use in conjunction with reddit if they reverse API decisions though.

I'm migrating here! Just now setting up my Arch distro but I'll engage where I can.

I also deleted RedReader (Reddit APP) and just subscribed to a few groups here in the Fediverse

[–] Reliant1087@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Funny given how the app developer is trying to port it to support lemmy as well.

I have just subscribed to as many Lemmy equivalents to my subreddits as I could find. I plan to make Lemmy a permanent part of my browsing. Already contemplating on whether I should delete my Reddit account but I am still waiting out the situation to see what happens. What /u/spez has said doesn't give me much hope though. I do hope Lemmy takes off. The limited browsing I've done on Lemmy has already convinced me that its a better experience than Reddit from a UI / UX perspective.

I am really tired of Reddit. Unfortunately, Reddit's user don't care about the API decisions. Screw Reddit.

[–] headlesscyborg@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely, ditched my Reddit account. I was already unhappy with Reddit for some time, so while others are mad about the API changes, for me it's the best that could happen because it made me discover Lemmy.

[–] JollyRoberts@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Im sticking with the fediverse.

[–] Tireseas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm down for seeing where this trip takes us. If nothing else it's an opportunity to meet new folks.

[–] M_Reimer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'll give Lemmy a try, now and currently this seems to be the "to go" community for Arch Linux. So I'll be around here for a while.

[–] businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

yep! the only thing i used reddit for (other than funny pictures, which we could all realistically do without) was tech support and discussing linux-related topics. And it seems, at least for now, the userbase swings pretty heavily towards tech savvy people so I'm sure this place will be great :)

[–] Hominine@lemonine.hominine.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

It's going to take a little time and maturing of the software but I think the fediverse had a bright future.

[–] fabiscafe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's just that .ml is down currently. So a bit hard to tell how this keeps working. Buuut nice to see you.

[–] Agility0971@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I migrated fully from reddit. Deleted my comments and account. This will be my replacement for r/archlinux
