Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

You know what? I'd not even thought of having a seperate instance for stuff like that. I may need to take a look in to how much it would cost and what the moderation effort would be like.

Beehaw posted their financials, not too expensive. As for moderation, you'll be the admin of your little instance, but you can allow others to mod communities on it. Still considering setting up one instance for my interests (many of them, probably most of them, don't have communities today in all of Lemmy), but I'm already on call at work and the idea of having to moderate something gives me pause...
