Big spike in comments/posts this AM :/
I'm presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit's,
Eg:
/post/{title}-{title_id}
/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments
Etc.
I have all the code changes locally but waiting for a new PSU fot my home server to come in tomorrow for my dev server as i dont feel like setting up postgres etc on my laptop
Yep! Although it is too bad that when you sesrch for reddit alternstives, that lemmy doesn't come up.
Bonus points for: a way to get my playlists/liked songs off of spotify :)
Absolutely. The value from the knowledge that I've gained from reddit is intangible. It will be next to impossible for me to not use it as reference material in the future. I mean we're talking about close to 2 decades of crowdsourced information.
Being able to filter out bad information with downvotes was also amazing, and part of the reason I will most likely be moving away from beehaw communities (no downvotes, wtf?? trying to be youtube, eh? 🤣 )
It will still be a useful repository of knowledge. It's going to be a hard transition, most of the time when I google something I need to append site:reddit.com, to get a useful answer
Note: you will most likely still be able to view from mobile browser via teddit even after the api cutoff date
Interesting write up, thanks for sharing !
like, it used to cost some serious $$$ to host your own website/community back in the day, but now you can easily get away with it for less than ~$100/yr.
Sure, at a small scale. But if you want to run a highly available, horizontally scalable platform that will cost $$$.
I agree with your other points!
The answer is just building strong communities that give a shit about building good internet spaces
Like I said in my post, interests fade. Most open source projects I've seen fail. What keeps a core team around over the years, most of the time, isn't giving a shit.

Wait really? Is there a recommended extension for this?
