They are gutting the DM system and finding out it is a lot more embedded than expected.
Also they are finding new ways to fuck with old.reddit that not even RES mitigates

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:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
I think and predicted that they going to close old.reddit soon, as they want to "optimize user experience" with new UI. (I.e: not load all post so fast, but pretent to 'loading and pause' so you are going to engage more than scrolling, especially stuck at loading new post after you scroll past and ads, so you can spend some time reading the ads, ...)
the day they killed i.reddit I knew it was only a matter of time
It's like how all the public 3rd spaces got killed as a sacrifice to the automotive industry, now all of our digital 3rd spaces are being sacrificed to big tech
I hate everything about how the world is going
Investor want cash out, so they milk. Whether the platform die after that doesn't matter. What matter now is the quarterly report look good.
And CEO work like, 5 year term, so they want to milk as much as possible for that term and bail out with huge compensation.
I don't use Reddit anymore, but I appreciate the updates.

It seems to be getting slower and slower and has even been off-line a couple of times. I've been there 16 years but am getting pretty close to completely bailing out.
Harmless theory, lots of AI inquiries. Harmful theory: Elon musk is removing dissent from all social media. Accounts being targeted and removed etc.
Maybe they have laid off too many of the federal agents inserting misinformation and propaganda and they get bogged down a lot.
Yes, and my partner notices it too. Slow loading, janky searches (sometimes search comes up with no results??), posts that show a mass of “deleted” comments, votes not getting logged (if you refresh the page, they’re gone). I’m American on mobile browser.
So I am new to Lemmy and I am just trying to use it more and more each day. It sure seems anemic as the content I see appears to be people supporting the old Reddit before it went mega-shit and screwing over the old mods. So, thank you for letting me come here to try it out.
Ever since the API snafu i get so many strange errors and timeouts. It's service quality has been heavily degraded.
Happens regularly to me, posts not loading, votes not working, comments failing to get submitted… I’m located in the EU, maybe that’s a part of the problem?
I'm in Europe too.
Ah, i bet the EU isnt paying their Reddit tariffs...
Seems like Reddit is down at the moment...
Censorship seems to be the consensus
From the US and this has always been my experience with the reddit app since joining in 2019. I always chalked it up to bad connection
It happens every few days for me. I'm in Canada, fwiw. I don't notice it being worse than usual.
