Nice seeing so many of those that I visit often are dark. Before the blackout, there was talk of if they should go permanently. But, those discussions will happen after things go back. With Spez being a dipshit about it still, I'm thinking several of them will leave Reddit forever. I'm good with it.
I've taken my subs down for the couple of days as a starting point. Not sure I plan to bring them back up until there is change but we'll see what happens
Wow, you can't even login to reddit to check what subs are black now. Must be getting hammered to death...
Donβt even want to login to give them a hit.
Unexpected attack on reddit? Hopefully it just makes the admins more butthurt that their userbase rejects their choices, but also, hopefully the subs that did stay open (to help people, like r ukraine or self help subs) aren't interrupted too much...
I can open r/ukraine on RIF. 3rd party apps still work.
Most will shut down on June 30 when reddit is overcharging to use the api, essentially to force them out and make you use their app with tracking and advertising.
Yeah, that's why I'm here. Ironic that the current status is that the site is down but 3rd party apps work..
Site seems to be back up now.
Seems like Reddit is completely down now. Frontpage hasn't loaded for 15 or 20 minutes.
RIF still works lol.
That probably won't last given Spez's bullshit, but I gotta say, Lemmy is looking pretty promising. The Jeroba mobile app is a little underwhelming though, voting and replying to comments is a hassle. Maybe the RIF dev will make a Lemmy app or help improve Jeroba.
The RedReader Dev had said he's looking to include Lemmy.
Never tried that one either, I usually used RiF. Is that on Android?
Yep. You can get it on FDroid package manager or the Google Play Store.
Awesome, thanks!
How is it a hassle? It seems perfect-enough to me.
At least on Android, I can't respond to or vote on responses that show up in my inbox. Clicking on the message itself does nothing instead of taking me to the message. The UI definitely needs improvements in usability but it's still very much in development as far as I could tell.
I think it's having trouble keeping up with the rush of users. I'll admit though it's pretty frustrating that my upvotes don't register. I get "timeout" after a few seconds.
I only seem to be having that problem with Jeroba. In the browser it seems to work fine with the lemmies I've tried
At first it was both, couldn't upvote on the browser or Jerboa. Since this afternoon though I haven't been getting a timeout error on Jerboa.
Edit: nevermind it's happening again. Maybe it's happening due to server load?

4909 dark atm, sad to see it slowly coming down. Hold!! Hold!!
Love this website, well done Dev/s
There's also a Twitch stream linked at the top of the page. Join us in sitting around, watching, and chatting as the proverbial shit hits the fan!
if the site won't load for you, the link is twitch.tv/reddark_247
I feel like each time a sub goes private there should be a custom final message or something. Like a last post saying "Goodnight and good luck" π
The website is redirecting me to the livestream now.
Nevermind, just seen the noteβit's because of too much traffic.
I'm pissed about r/pcmasterrace not protesting. Anyone knows why?
in general I would assume any subs not participating are run by mods who value their mod status more than the quality of their community
subreddit named after Nazi propaganda has bootlicker mods, wow, what a surprise

I decided to check the front page (as in /r/popular, what people see by default) out of morbid curiosity since most of Reddit has gone dark now, and honestly itβs like nothing has changed for the casual user.
The biggest subs with the most traffic havenβt gone dark at all, and all the same posts and popular stuff still fill the front page, so for many people I suspect theyβre not even going to feel this, but maybe itβs a bit too premature to be making this conclusion, letβs see what happens.
EDIT: I was somewhat premature with this post, even /r/popular is pretty barren as things move nowhere near as fast. That being said, it's disappointing to see how much is still open, and how some subreddits (such as /r/pcmasterrace) are clearly missing the point by allowing "certain posts".

This has really opened my eyes to just how many niche porn subs there are.....maybe too many?
I've already seen a megathread on Lemmy linking to porn communities. It's inevitable

So are subreddits still planning to stay shut for only 2 days or are we extending that? Because 2 days does not seem enough for this.
A lot of subreddits will stay closed indefinitely.
I feel this won't happen. If big subs continue to be dark too long, the reddit admins would simply remove the hostile volunteer mods and reopen the subs. The mods are used to being gods of their little domains. If they cross the line, they will be reminded that they own nothing. They can obey reddit or they can be replaced.
That is what I see in the future for any mods that try to hold subs hostage indefinitely.
