News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It’s gonna take a little getting used too, and there are some subs that it’ll take awhile to replace
But I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo stopped working on the 30th so it’s somethin
Me either.
Only way I’ll go back is if they oust Huffman as CEO
I’d love that, but I can’t see myself going back without Apollo or some other third party app that doesn’t suck
I was banned from reddit so to me lemmy is a place I get to have a voice again.
Also it’s really cool to see the precise up and down numbers instead of reddit’s intentionally-obfuscated probabilistically nonoffensive “scores”.
10+ years from now reddit will be at reduced popularity, but still a major player in the social media scene. i say this because i left other social media sites before the term "social media" existed and those old sites are still chugging along, making money for the new owners despite a 75%-ish drop in users and content.
i've been wantin to leave reddit for a while and the changes gave me the final straw i needed to make the jump; you should be leaving reddit because it benefits you somehow. there's nothing you can do to affect reddit unless you have enough money to affect a change in its direction.
It will probably resemble myspace: https://myspace.com/
As a worst case scenario; I bet it'll becoming more like digg
Reddit’s actually less of a major player than it feels like when you’re in it.
Look at its place in The Internet Map: http://internet-map.net/#6-146.44287523142916-86.10421783299574
that’s pretty interesting. for all the talk of tumblr being “dead” it’s still bigger than reddit on there. I never left tumblr but I would never have guessed it’s so big still.
Best case scenario is that in the next ten years reddit becomes the equivalent of bing. Still around, but who really gives a shit
You’re telling me my work computer will have reddit pre-configured as the default search engine, and I’ll have to manually type in google.com any time I want to search?
Just miss Apollo and some of the great communities, all the rest I won’t miss.
use wefwef.app ! just like apollo. i hardly skipped a beat moving over and browsing all
I know, it's just that Selig was such an amazing dev, and that apollo was just a lot more fleshed out than wefwef currently.
Wefwef is still amazing though, and that it's this good, so quickly, is mindblowing.
+1 for Memmy and Mlem as well!
I wonder how much effort it would take to make Apollo itself work with lemmy’s apis.
I bet there would be some work to modify things to handle the multi-instance thing, but a ton of that code could be re-used if it’s built correctly.
And although I don’t know it directly, I know indirectly that his code must be well organized, just based on how smooth and functional apollo was.
I miss having a small pixel pall to play with while scrolling
