You know, the API situation in general made me want to leave Reddit, but I thought to myself, “whatever, I’ll browse on desktop sometimes.” This, though, is absolutely insane. I’m going to start packing my shit up and move on.
It really is unbelievable. I seriously did not believe this post at first until I looked into it further.
Truly appreciate you setting this up. I do have a question and readily admit I have not looked elsewhere, but, since you may be offering to answer: could I set up a “private” instance for me and a few friends that closes registration but is open to the rest of the fediverse? I assume so since a lot of the main sites seem to be slowing registration down but I am just curious how it all works. Would be a fun experiment for me.
Also, how difficult is it to manage from a sysadmin point of view?
From my experience the amount of legendaries you get that you can then deconstruct to get the materials needed to upgrade is a pretty good amount. I’d say just upgrade if you feel like you need to. On my sorcerer I upgrade everything but on my necromancer I’ve upgraded nothing beyond one piece to finish the introductory side quest.
Sort of related follow-up question to @NuPNuA@lemm.ee - it seems like it links directly to that specific instance. If we wanted to subscribe to a community in a different instance, is the easiest way to search https://lemm.ee/communities ?
I ended up using shreddit, a Rust remake of an unmaintained Python script (https://github.com/x89/Shreddit). I had to keep running it over and over, but, I think that was the Reddit API’s fault. If you end up using it, I recommend running it in a loop unless you want to keep running the same command over and over.
Anyway, it deleted all posts and comments, but messages in my inbox are still there. I’m fine with that for now but eventually want to clear that out I think.
If you’re thinking of doing this I’d recommend running it before the API changes since the script uses it.
For the federation, I will give my life!
