    I’m glad this Reddit blackout finally inspired me to make a Lemmy account. I already like it enough that I may or may not even go back to Reddit. Yarrr!

      Reddit has been weird with comments, and formatting for me. I can actually copy and paste here without my comment getting kneecaped. :O

        Good mobile apps are key, I agree. My main use of reddit was on mobile. Currently using Jerboa, which seems okay except it keeps logging me out for some reason.

          I wish there was a way to respond to a comment. I can see it in the inbox, but I have to click into the thread and manually find it, to respond…

            Reply directly from Inbox works fine for me, both in website and in Jerboa app. What are you using to connect?

              Jerboa as well, on android. I actually just figured it out, I have to long press on the comment and the option to reply will drop down. I feel like my father using this app, but I sort of love it. I’m figuring it out!

            Hold your finger in the void to the right of the username. It was an unnecessary feature added among a bunch of good ones like in-app image viewing.

      It definitely can flourish here given the right circumstances. I haven’t pirated anything in a long while, but I love seeing the community doing it’s thing. I’ll definitely be following along

    Thanks for linking to Lemmy. Not enough of the protest private pages did so.

    Bravo to you. This was absolutely the right call and I hope you let it rot if there isn’t a massive change of direction. Frankly, for me, even if they do roll things back I am still done with them. P2P is how the internet should be (funny considering torrenting has been a thing for how long now?) and thankfully we have guys like you to step up and help get this off the ground. Thanks!

      I know, right? For me it’s a drop in replacement. All that’s required is for the people to stick around.

        Reddit’s main strength lies in it’s userbase. If everyone migrates to other platforms, then Reddit will no longer be worth visiting. I wish more big subs would go down indefinitely, a two day blackout will accomplish nothing if everyone just goes back to reddit.

        Seems quite good. Although I’m having some trouble with connecting to some instances (e.g. feddit.dk) Edit: Everything seems to work now (2023-06-17)

    Let’s hope this makes Reddit change their minds, which I doubt so we might settle here. Can I get mod access here by the way?

    Hypothetically speaking, if this instance gets taken down would it be possible for the admin to recover the data and respawn it on a new instance?
