  • Reddit down amid major protest

    Jump

  • I've noticed the slowness too over here, but embracing it as it must mean a huge increase in traffic, which makes me super happy. Welcome to all the refugees!!

  • Exactly... traffic is traffic and clicks are clicks, it's all the same to an algorithm that determines the # of eyes an ad gets.

  • As someone in the advertising industry - they most likely will just recover the revenue when people flock back after the black out. The only way they truly lose ad revenue is if people leave for a very extended amount of time. Basically - they'll have *lower *impressions (not zero, because people are still there today) in the next few days but they will recover, and it'll be seen as a "dip" but not a loss.

  • Sad to see Reddit go

    Jump

  • This explanation helped, thanks!

  • Lemmy is blowing up

    Jump

  • Think of it like moving to a new house rather than picking up your house and moving it to a new neighborhood. The excitement comes from the differences even if you miss the other place.

  • I put together a guide aimed at Redditors for Kbin and Lemmy!

    Jump

  • Thank you! Super helpful

  • Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Also first time, also don't know what I'm doing! But I'm having fun and am not going back to the other place

  • Lemmy, what do you call users of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Lemmons

  • current lemmy states

  • Commenting from beehaw here! I still am figuring out what's what but super happy!

  • PSA: make an effort to comment in non-reddit stuff too

    Jump

  • I'm still learning how to do things right now. I'm trying to find a news feed (?) thread (?) community (?) and learning how to post. But I'm looking forward to contributing as soon as I can get my bearings. I totally agree with you though, good to see posts from other refugees but craving the content

  • what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back

    Jump

  • Probably nothing now that I made the change. I really like the people here. I don't see a bunch of the snark and hate over here and it suits me better. I imagine reddit is gonna go the way of Twitter and Facebook and I just don't want to give any part of my life to that

  • Reddit CEO doubles down on attack on Apollo developer in drama-filled AMA

    Jump

  • Isn't moderation an unpaid volunteer gig? I agree. He's gonna have a hard time finding a bunch of people who can /will jump at the opportunity

  • I just deleted my Reddit account.

    Jump

  • You... You guys had friends? I don't think anyone would even think to wonder where I went.

    Side comment... How many walked away from reddit accounts will be flagged for the "dead redditors" sub when people just suddenly stop posting?

  • Photos from Trump indictment show boxes of classified documents stored in Mar-a-Lago shower, ballroom

    Jump

  • I just had an upsetting moment where I pictured trump showering. Blech. Why.

  • TIL how to fetch communities from other instances so that I can subscribe from my own instance.

    Jump

  • Ah ok... I'm not even sure how to search jeroba for anything yet this might have to be a thing I do on Monday when I'm back near a computer

  • TIL how to fetch communities from other instances so that I can subscribe from my own instance.

    Jump

  • How do you find the url of the community. For example, I want to see if my city has a community / instance somewhere but don't know what they would call it. How do I find that

  • Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit?

    Jump

  • Nah. I just uninstalled baconreader from my phone and look forward to lemmy being my new home.

  • Reddit is claiming that Christian Selig (the Apollo dev) attempted to blackmail them

    Jump

  • Wowsers that was a wild read!!

  • I'm on jeroba too- i'm sticking with it, lemmy is 100% worth supporting and what is happening with reddit is just ridiculous, I won't be giving them or their sponsors any more of my clicks.
