@liztai getting quieter on the whole, but there's actually a lot of buzz happening on a wider variety of #fediverse platforms. #Calckey and #Misskey have gotten a lot of attention lately, as have #Lemmy and #kbin. #Pixelfed has had some major updates lately too.
Waitasecond #lemmy supports '!'groups and is federated so in theory I should be able to subscribe to read posts from there over here? But I'm missing something or have the premise entirely wrong since it's not working when I try it as suggested at https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy
absolutely fascinated that new people on #lemmy are having their own reddit migration, and are calling it as such. Beehaw is seeing a pretty big inflow of users, and currently have to limit signups. Ofcourse nothing comparable in numbers to the twitter migration, but just seeing the idea being picked up and replicated of 'big-tech-migration' is interesting.
my wild bet is that we'll probably see a goodreads migration (probs 2024?) as well at some point.
Don't visit #reddit much anymore, but find myself there occasionally. It really is a mess now, with the topics and comment threads seemingly secondary to the ads and screen clutter.
Made the mistake of accessing it from a mobile device? Well – let us express our outrage at you not using our app when a browser is perfectly fine for text.
Seems like a good reason to check out #Lemmy. I don't know how much traction it has, but hopefully it's low effort to find a server and give it a try.
So, after Reddit- it looks like it's time to try Lemmy? I haven't joined an instance yet though I've been looking around. Also, is there a way to see all posts from different instances at once? That might be a naive question but I can't really tell from browsing instance views.
For those who are unaware, lemmy and kbin to a lesser extent are in the early stages of a rapid growth in users, similar to the one Mastodon experienced in November last year.
In a move similar to Twitter, Reddit has all but confirmed that 3rd party apps will be locked out with their new API pricing, effectively forcing people to use the official app or nothing.
That has driven a lot of people to look for alternatives. I expect the wave in new users will ebb, but it will surge back again even larger once the 3rd party reddit apps are officially unusable.
Reddit is undergoing enshittification, so I've set a course straight for the fediverse. I'm moving to Lemmy for most of my reddit-related posting, so nothing changes here, but I wanted to give lemmy a shoutout nonetheless #lemmy#reddit#fediverse
I'm trying to move as much of my online activity as possible to the #Fediverse, mostly because the internet sucks now, but also because I'm excited at the idea of users forming communities and sites of resistance on their own terms, free of capitalist meddling and surveillance. #enshittification#redditapi
Perhaps ironically, I’ve been enjoying interacting with #Lemmy communities and posts just using my Mastodon account via my instance’s default web app. It of course doesn’t offer the full range of options a native Lemmy app would, but it lets me engage using the account and apps I’m already familiar with.
