Totally not suspicious timing at all.

Also if you're willing to visit reddit, the comments under the post are great. They're not fooling anyone.

I'm having fun with the Fediverse. I'm pretty sure Reddit doesn't care if everyone leaves. I still like reading news about them but I've not been back. If I accidentally click on someone's posted reddit link (happens a lot - trying to retrain!) I back out quick before it loads.

I have to say though, I'm going through Reddit withdrawal this week. I've also moved away from Twitter. Even though the Fediverse is great, it's still growing and the apps don't have everything I need. I've been grumpy and unsettled and 100% it's because my beautiful Reddit app and routine has gone away.

This is the whole reason I still haven't uninstalled Boost. It doesn't work anymore but it's still set to open as my default, so if I ever click by accident, I'm met with a blank screen before I remember.

There’s a boost for Lemmy. Idk if it’s ready (I’m on iOS, but used to use boost on android, and I miss it so much, I just come across the news now and then), but you might be able to test it if not!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Nepenthe@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Not on Lemmy, so I've just consented to wave sadly as my old love passes me by. It was a fantastic app and will continue to be. Kbin's waiting on Artemis, and until then I'm surprisingly satisfied. I do appreciate it, though!

Don't worry it will get better and in the long term you will feel even better than before you quit reddit. For me quitting reduced the time spent on my phone by more than an hour per day.

Love the top comment on this post data “API” that’s funny.

Hahahahahahahaha

But seriously—

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, the IPO must be really imminent then.

Nice to see that r/place is going about as well as I was expecting it to (surprised the "FUCK SPEZ" stuff has lasted as long as it has). Does anyone want to place any bets on how long the "FUCK SPEZ" messages will last before Reddit's ~~censors~~ admins come and get rid of them? This is going to result in some well deserved bad publicity for the site if any of this ends up being censored, or ends up in the final canvas, so they're damned if they censor any of this stuff and damned if they don't lmao.

I'm just wondering how they're going to censor it once all the API and "fuck u/spez" slogans form

What was r/place back then?

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

I feel like instead of writing 'fuck spez' on reddit, the best decision is to ditch it completely. I mean, I do still visit reddit due to some niche communities that don't have that big of a user-base on lemmy, but clearly reddit exists for 10+ years. The change can't happen overnight. In any case, I am still astonished by how quickly lemmy got that much traffic. From a small village, it has turned into a city, it's incredible. :)
