The API changes was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I was on reddit right before the exodus from Digg, before that I used to go to Fark. So much has changed, it is sad to see it, but I guess it was inevitable. As companies grow their user base, they tend to start catering to a more generic (and bland) base and the higher ups demand never ending increase of revenue, quarter after quarter.
So many memories; great ones (Today you, tomorrow me), awful ones (Jolly Rancher), some weird ones (Waffles? Don't You Mean Carrots?), etc. I only use old.reddit with RES on Librewolf on my PC, and Redreader and Stealth on Android (FOSS apps).
I am hoping to see Lemmy grow, I wish you all reddit refugees the best of luck!
