What if Reddit federated?
Hypothetically, they could implement some internal api and open Reddit to the fediverse no? What would happen then? (I’m sure they won’t because they want the money… but I’m just speculating…)
The new system to replace Reddit coins and awards is here. You got out at the right time. (www.reddit.com)
Read all about it at the above link. There’s way too much to process here. This is going to be wild.
Lemmy servers vs Reddit servers (i.imgur.com)
Reddit and Windows
Today I installed Windows on my laptop and then I visited Reddit without being logged in. The two experiences are very similar....
I went and looked at the Reddit front page today
The content was incredibly boring. That site is already going downhill. I came right back to Lemmy and immediately was more entertained. You’re all much funnier and more creative. I feel like Reddit had a brain drain after the protest.

This is real: Investing in what makes Reddit unique: Introducing Contextual Keyword Targeting and Product Ads - Upvoted (www.redditinc.com)
Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy....
The official reddit app now has more 1 star reviews than 5 star (edit: on the Play store) (lemmy.world)
RiF is finally dead?
Since the API change RiF was still usable in logged-out mode, however, it’s now consistently not loading posts anymore. They recently updated the “logged-out user experience” (see link below), which may have also been used to finally kill any RiF stragglers....
Power Delete Suite
I am running it right now and deleting 13 years of wasted time. I am so sick of the downvote trolls and hate.
Opera GX broke Reddit (FIXED) (lemmy.world)
Opera GX was showing squares in place of icons and wasn’t working well, so I disabled GX’s adblocker and cleared cache. That logged me out and now this is all that gets loaded in when i go to a post. Does anybody know how to fix it?...
Reddit is down
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.
Utter Reddy / Lemmit confusion
So I’m in the bus, happily browsing Lemmy in Jerboa. I clicked on a Reddit link in a Lemmy post that silently opened the Reddit app without my noticing (cuz I was paying attention to my bus stop). The subreddit had this grey theme going on, so overall the Reddit client kinda looked like Jerboa....
Share links to the fediverse
I’ve been sharing links to the fediverse - interesting discussions, memes, you name it… Whenever I get a chance....
Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore (www.androidpolice.com)
Official Reddit announcement posts now follow a well-defined archetype. The latest accessibility announcement is just the latest example.
In the old days, official reddit announcement posts were a little different. Spuds, or another high-level admin would reply to a comment. Dozens of users would then reply with something like “When are you going to ban r/the_donald.” The threads were massive and quickly became unwieldy, but they seemed organic....
TIL that reddit account with low karma have to wait about 10 minutes between each post/comment

Reddit updates its site design for logged-out users (techcrunch.com)
Reddit ruined lemmy
Some collective band of childish fucking rejects got my account banned because I wanted an open discussion on an innocent post. But just because the post asked for open minded thoughts, they thought it was best to bombard it with shitty jokes and when I did not like their shitty jokes, they all got mad at me and derailed the...
Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help....
