Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there's a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.

    Don’t kid yourself. Reddit was valuable to pretty much all of you or else you wouldn’t continuously shitpost about it.

    Also I know you’re a former redditor because you’re parroting the same tired-ass old line that is top comment on every thread about something bad happening to someone or some thing they don’t like. Get some new material.

    EDIT: Speaking of getting new material, I should try not to be as snarky. Get the alien out of your head, my man. We don't need to do that to entertain ourselves anymore. I apologize to @errer@lemmy.world, and I take that shit back. I hope you got a laugh out of it as intended, even though there was no real way to tell it was supposed to be a bit cheeky.

    It did still frustrate me to see all that knowledge just hand-waved like what happened was no big deal. I guess "couldn't have happened to a nicer boardroom" or something would have clicked better lol but I'd imagine we're probably on the same page about it at the end of the day.

    Anyway, let's all be cool, Lemmy fucking rocks, we're nice here, save the sarcasm for mocking actual malice instead of eating each other. I'll try to be better.

    The reason everyone is so mad is because reddit has been so valuable and useful this past 15 years and they are ruining it.

    And it was so valuable and useful because we, the former redditors, made it that way. They're ruining the hard (and free) work people did over those 15 years to make it useful. The good thing is it's been shown to be entirely replaceable, and made better by taking control out of corporate hands.

    The special (and valuable) thing about Reddit was its passionate users. Take that away and what's left?

    You're on a post discussing the potential funneling of Reddit users to Lemmy.world, yet criticize someone for potentially being a Reddit user?

    This is the first impression you're setting for them; you're not protecting Lemmy nor are you representing it.

    Chill dude, let it organically change if you're tired of Reddit, a lot of people are too.

    It doesn't really work that way. Lots of people visited subreddits like cringetopia, whatcouldgowrong, confidentlyincorrect, etc. Basically a compulsion to kill time by gawking at dumb people doing dumb stuff. That doesn't mean those subreddits or that use of time had actual value, even to that specific person though.

    It's a fleshlight modeled to look like a pez dispenser. When the mouth pops open, instead of candy coming out, your c#*k goes in.

    I joined lemmy when they killed Apollo. Should have done it so much sooner, this is way better!

    It was the same for me. I think joined the same day. To be honest, I haven't looked back at reddit. I enjoy the communities here, and some devs to great work on apps like memmy and mlem. Both feature a lot of Apollo App.

    I just went to Reddit.com. It looks like it's up but all of the posts on the main page are from 9 hrs ago or older (I didn’t scroll very far to see if there were newer ones).

    I went to the search and looked up Redditalternatives. I got two error messages - "We had a server error..." and "Request failed." But the sub appeared behind the error pop ups. I see sub posts from 2 and 4 hrs ago.

    Does this mean that Reddit is down? I don't want to engage too much with the site to find out.
