Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.
This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.
Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!
Well Reddit wouldn't be the juggernaut it is now if Digg hadn't done similarly stupid things and paid the ultimate price. Social media sites do fall, and Lemmy grows a little every time this happens. I honestly don't care. I like Lemmy how it is now.
Reddit refugee here! Really enjoying Lemmy so far, I hope more and more people start jumping over
Reddit likely won’t die from one bad change, it’s going to slowly die to attrition as they keep putting shit like this in.
It's been slowly dying from attrition . It might be gaining users, but meaningful interactions and content production is down from 3 years ago.
Yup, and the trend just continues.
I’m one. Hello all.
Welcome!
Hi!
For Lemmy usage my preferred approach is always sorting by all and blocking communities (and instances) I don't want to see instead of subscribing to the ones I do want to see. This way you get more content and dont miss new sublemmies! :)
Appreciate the advice!
You're welcome. Spread the word of the fediverse, may one day Lemmy be bigger than Reddit, Pixelfed bigger than Instagram, Mastodon bigger than Twitter, ...
I see more and more people moving to Bluesky, which means Xitter is becoming less and less relevant by the day. Except for nazi shitheads, that is.
