good to hear

most post or at least the ones i’ve tried aren’t archived, they should at least have the subreddit read only having it unaccessible is moronic

not on mobile where most users are

i get what you are saying, sure its easy enough to copy the functionality, but what isn’t easy to copy is the userbase, reddit isn’t just a venue its a venue people are already going to.

I personaly have no problems with the official app (i actually didn’t really know about the others until all this) but i get those people who liked the alterative apps feel slighted by the changes, but in this situation i feel like the wants of the many outweigh the wants of the few, I’m not saying this place should be shut down, by all means this place can stay up for those who don’t want to use reddit anymore, but that the two places can co-exist.

which isn’t gonna happen in any reasonable amount of time, there are fractions of a fraction of users on this platform, and the outreach is horrendous if you didn’t see the post about this place before the subreddit went down chances are you don’t/ won’t even know it exists

bro the problem i have with this site is that its has none of the userbase and none of the backlog of the subreddit, creating a new subreddit would have the exact same issues. especially when there is an already existing subreddit that is just being held hostage

bro that causes the exact same problem that this place does

there have been many times over the last 2 or 3 days that i have tried to find the answer to a question or look for a suggestion or guide, and right there at the top of google is a reddit post with the exact thing i was looking for answered, but i can’t see it because its down. instead I have trudge through the forums or wiki to find an answer, when my question could have been answer 5-10 minutes beforehand. I love the wiki i use it constantly, but its not always the best for finding niche things.

even crazier looking at the sitewide number there is less users on the whole of lemmy then there was on the warframe subreddit

no one is forcing you to keep using reddit, all power to ya if you keep not using it, but trying to force people to sign up for a barren alternative isn’t it
