To someone who is subscribed to multiple communities on Reddit, has there been any change in their feed in their quality or amount of posts since July 1st? Any change in the amount of comments in the posts? Even the number of community subscribers?

I want to see how Reddit is doing without going back to their site to check. I know other people might still be seeing Reddit, so I wish to hear directly from them.

Haven’t deleted rif yet and have been opening the just to check every couple if days. On July 1, I was getting errors (429 I think), then the login page after a couple if days. Earlier, I was seeing posts, but the front page, popular, and all were the same. Also, all the multis I created were gone. Haven’t checked on desktop yet.

I’ve found my Lemmy experience much better, even though many of the subs I was subscribed to haven’t migrated yet. But it’s early days and I have enough patience to see the Fediverse grow.

Yeah, I won’t lie. This is better here. More active community. It feels more like the wild west of when reddit was new.

It’s funny that reddit basically just blocked us from contributing. You can still use RIF to lurk.

Sometimes I forget and try to comment or upvote. After quick disappointment I actually feel relieved that I can’t interact with reddit. It’s weird.

I haven’t really gone back to Spez’s fiefdom ever since the blackouts began. But I’ve got plenty of saved comments to go back to, which I need to offload before I’m gone from that site for good.

I feel you, its honestly like a nicotine patch is to smoking at the moment. I loved rifs widget just a bar with the headline. I hope a good lemmy app with that ability comes along.
