For sure. I'm using Lemmy much more than reddit. But it sucks because I really loved Reddit and I still use it to some degree. But when Relay stops working I might just stop altogether. I'm not installing their shitty app.

    Reddit still holds a ton of valuable info in niche topics which will take Lemmy years to build, and that's only if the niche communities here ever see the light of day. I've deleted most of the useless content I have there, but the more helpful ones I'll leave for the sake of others like me who still visit occasionally for answers you can't get anywhere else.

    For sure. I hope that Lemmy becomes one of several reddit-like platforms that can compete against Reddit. It's going to be hard considering how Lemmy is designed but it's going to be nice to have a more decentralised social media presence. I would love if something would come and defeat Facebook as well... I only use it to stay in touch with friends.

    Why is relay not affected?

    Not entirely sure as the dev have yet to comment on why. It seems like he has a deal with Reddit where he is allowed some breathing room to develop and make available a subscription solution. But it's been awhile now so I dunno. It's the only app I've heard about that is still working.
