- Get bored.
- Open Reddit.
- Remember I’m not using reddit today.
- Open Lemmy.
- Go do something else.
- Go to number 1.
Isn’t the whole Reddit outage only for a couple days?
It is, but it sort of depends on if you’re on Lemmy to pass the time or to see if it’s a platform you’d be able to migrate to if you choose to. I’m personally hoping that Lemmy becomes a viable alternative that can be my primary community board, and maybe return to Reddit only for the couple of communities that don’t have suitable replacements yet.
I’ve been here for only two days and honestly? I’m not going back to reddit, even if everything works out great over there. I’ve got more sense of a community in lemmy in two days than what I felt in 7 years in reddit.
Yes the 12th through the 14th but come june 30th all third-party apps will die. and that’s when the real traffic here will start. my sub has went dark for 2 days as well to protest.
It’s not just an outage, it’s a boycotting that happened to cause an actual outage. My outage is indefinite!

When I click your link I get stuck on the wrong server or something and can’t comment, any advice?
I think you have to enter the community in your url bar like this:
your.instance/c/fte@sopuli.xyz
which I think in your case would be:
discuss.tchncs.de/c/fte@sopuli.xyz
Try that out and get back to me. I am also brand new to the Fediverse, kind of feels like the blind leading the blind. But I’m sure we will figure it out.
edit: just realized what you’re asking. I know how to make a community link that can be accessed from any instance, but not a post link. I want to link the FAQ’s from my instance so that anyone can read it, but I’m still not sure how.
If i navigate back to the same post from tchncs.de the URL is https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/43522
Note that this isnt the same number, it bears no resemblance to your URL
I doctored my bookmarks to exclude Reddit. On my phone I replaced it was Jerboa, which I was very impressed with as an alpha app. It’s already better than Reddit’s official app. I’m very guilty of doing the same like you. Launch up reddit then correct myself. I’m comitted to the move away.
I used rif, so I’m just done with reddit now. I’m not using any other app, and I refuse to use a browser. Bye bye, reddit.
@wheresyourshoe @CascadeDismayed RIP Rif i’m going to miss the notifications on new post. I actually got a lot done. go about my day. check rif for new notifications on post. reply comment or upvote then boom go back to doing my business. now I got lemmy and mastodon and i’m on it like a crack addict lmao!
It’s usually difficult for me to break habits, but right now I’m motivated by rage and contempt, which is making it a lot easier. And the fediverse is like a methadone drip to come down from the heroin-like addictiveness of endless information.
Tip: instead of opening reddit, just search “reddit” and read all the tech news articles shitting on Steve Huffman in diplomatic ways. It’s very satisfying.
