The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

    As the saying goes, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

    How else will those communities thrive off reddit if users like you don’t start or participate in them elsewhere?

      I never said that you shouldn’t participate in new communities in Lemmy.

      1. The person said, “I still have to go back to Reddit since it’s the only way to get information for certain niche communities”
      2. A person replied saying why not just make the community here? (Though community could have already been made, but small or inactive)
      3. If you’re looking for an answer for something right now, you’ll do better asking somewhere more active. Though of course you can / should ask in both places.

      Extreme example? Acquaintance asked a question in !gayfisting@lemmynsfw.com and got no answers. Will more likely get more answers in /r/Gayfisting because it has 37K members. That is a niche community.
