Holy smokes! Honestly I don’t know if we have or will make much of a dent in r*ddit, but at this point I don’t care. We’re building a new enthusiastic community and doing it fast. It’s a lot of fun.
Yeah, completely killing Reddit was never in the cards in all honesty. Creating legit competition is good for everyone and this is definitely an awesome place already.
If I can speak for myself I literally switched over today cos boost stopped working only yesterday.
Welcome, stranger. Make yourself at home.
Joey for Reddit still works, if it stops completly I'm gone too from reddit and only use lemmy on mobile. not gonna using reddits shitty garbage app.
Dang, that was my reddit app. As much as I loved it, I'm a little disappointed to hear it's still working.
probably will die every minute now. it's a mystery to me that it is still alive. either reddit has forgotten about it or dunno. some people speculate that the dev is maybe talking with reddit about a deal and that's why it's still alive. but who knows.
Could be, I remember he did a survey shortly before the blackout about what we thought he should do. Maybe enough people said he should try to work it out? But yeah, who knows for sure...
I don't miss Reddit at all. The Lemmy community is wonderful and vibrant. Very reminiscent of the early days of Reddit
Honestly this has been my mindset since I joined Lemmy. I deleted my reddit account of five years yesterday. I have no intentions of going back.
