Love how the news article cited some random anonymous Reditor.
Feel free to cross post to !TIFU@lemmy.world
Hopefully the algorithm will improve over time - compared to the site which shall not be mentioned, I find that Hot or Active tend to show the same articles for days (despite there being plenty of newer content). Top Day works well the first time I log in for the day, but then that gets stale too. On the front page I feel like I need more like a “Top Hour” option … so I can see what is new without the “drinking from the fire hose” that is “new”.
These are the early days, Im not unhappy with where we are, I just hope this remains a work in progress and improves.
Interesting you say that. I’ve had pretty good luck finding equipments of most of my subs (a few more niche ones are missing).
Perhaps check kbin too, I know the exodus split between kbin and Lemmy. Fortunately they can talk to one another now that Kbin reenabled federation.
Now I’m curious, can KBin users be mods on Lemmy instances, and can Lemmy users moderate Kbin magazines?
Reddit always held the power in this relationship - They will get their way and plow forward - the subs will re-open and people will keep using their site - those of us who left and pealed off to Lemmy or kbin aren’t going to be a devastating blow…
BUT - the protest DID have an effect, not only symbolic, it also helped tarnish their image some and likely lowered their valuation some at a time they’re wanting to maximize it for a future IPO … so while we’re likely helpless on the fact that Reddit will win the war, at least we got a good punch in.
This, they could have just said API access now requires premium. I’m sure some people would have been pissed, but not nearly as much as the current situation.
If it was just “Pay $50 per year and continue to use and enjoy any 3PA of your choice”, I might have paid rather than jumping ship.
