▲ 423 ▼ Reddit users lost? (reddthat.com) submitted 3 years ago by andxze@reddthat.com to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world 162 comments fedilink hide all child comments Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this? Any resources would be greatly appreciated. As a sidenote, I'll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn't use RiF anymore.

It has it’s challenges related to the federation, mostly I foresee confusion about users with same name, having to run multiple accounts and maintain multiple subscription lists for some purposes and ofc the current performance/resource issues, but so far it’s working out. I miss a few nice subreddits but hopefully they will arrive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] reedthompson@reddthat.com 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) That's a good question about users with the same name. I haven't wanted to try other instances because I thought I'd need to think up multiple new usernames... But maybe I don't?

I assume in the background there is a @yourinstance.tld as part of the name, but all the clients I've seen show just the initial part of it. I could see some impersonation and confusion issues. permalink fedilink source parent
