It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy
Still trying to wrap my head around the cross-community, cross-server talk, but then again I’m drunk so I should just try again in the morning

Is the title supposed to sound like a Narcotics Anonymous meeting or am I just projecting?
In a way social media is a drug and most of us were addicted. At least I was on Reddit, because I liked being there. So not using it, especislly when it was kind of a habit may not be easy for many on virtue fo that alone.
were addicted
I’m still grieving the Reddit that was.
Now, I’m excited for the threadiverse that could be.
It hurts to lose everything we had, but leaving is the only way to have better platforms in the future.
It’s also not that bad. Most okder users went through plenty of online communities.
True enough. I’m just a young lad who grew up in the age of social media centralization, so this is my first real platform migration.
I mean, yes, I have had a lot of online communities die on me, but it still hurts. It always hurts. :(
I dropped Reddit the day before the blackout. Dropped that garbage and moved on.
Having come from helping run some very large communities as well as a lot of niche communities.
Kbin and Lemmy give me the same kind of feeling Reddit gave me almost 12+ years ago.
Kinda reminds me of the feeling I had when I left Digg for Reddit.
Same.
I’m looking forward to the day where answers to technical questions are not always found on corporate websites like Stack and Reddit.
They already are, depending what you’re looking for. A lot of the answers that I’ve found to take questions in the last few years are on obscure developer support forums.
I’ve also completely cut the cord with Reddit! I’m really excited by the potential in the threadiverse! My hope is we can get enough critical mass to keep the super niche and esoteric communities active like Reddit had.
I’m really impressed with how quickly lemmy is building a community, shitposts, beans, and all.
If we humans are good at anything, it’s ruining things and building community
And beans. Our history with beans goes back thousands of years.
It still won’t make sense when you’re sober, but you get used to it :)
I went back for a few minutes to check on a sub specific to the Reddit API fiasco to see what’s going on. Still a shit show. I already unsubscribed from 90% of my subs and uninstalled Sync and the Reddit app on Jul 1.
boost for reddit still works
Yeah, but it takes you to reddit. Ew.
You dont need to know the cross talking part
I caved and visited on the 2nd just to see if there was any noticeable impact. But I’m all in on beans now
Same.
I’m still checking it because Infinity for Reddit isn’t “dead” yet. I used Sync too, so I’m waiting for Sync for Lemmy/kbin! (I know it’s coming out in about 5 weeks according to the developer of Sync.)
