Reddit braces for life after API changes ( techcrunch.com )
Reddit slowly became filled with hate
I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do...
So where are we all supposed to go now? - The Verge ( www.theverge.com )
An era of the internet is ending, and we’re watching it happen practically in real time. Twitter has been on a steep and seemingly inexorable decline for, well, years, but especially since Elon Musk bought the company last fall and made a mess of the place. Reddit has spent the last couple of months self-immolating in similar...
Lemmy at Scale
It seems yesterday, Lemmy hit 916k posts, 6.2m comments in the last day (03/07/2023)....
The death of Sync for Reddit is what has made me join Lemmy
I barely use reddit anymore save for porn and niche subs but after that glorious app I had used for ages finally died a few days ago I felt devastated. it was like losing an old friend. I hope reddit dies an even slower and more painful death
Seen on reddit: Ran out of advertisers. Why? Yes. ( i.imgur.com )

Report Reddit To FTC for Posting Fake Revies ( reportfraud.ftc.gov )
Reddit has started posting purchased 5 star reviews on Apple Store, wouldn’t be surprised if they were doing on Android as well. This is illegal and you can voice your dissatisfaction with the FTC at the provided link.
Lemmy is confusing and poorly limited. How does Lemmy work? Why are there so many Lemmy clones? Do I have to sign up for each of them? Does my post show on each of them?
First please don’t ban me I’m new....

IAmA mods no longer willing to work for reddit for free ( redd.it )
Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably. But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we’d be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.

I know Reddit's API changes just happened today but I wanted to remind everyone to search out and actively take part in other communities!
I know this is the hot topic right now but let’s not let Lemmy’s default feed JUST be about the Reddit changes. Seek out your hobbies and comment/vote/post
The Boost for Lemmy app preview looks promising for RIF refugees ( lemmy.world )
Just thought I’d point this out to anyone looking for an RIF alternative that’s actually in the same vein as RIF (compact, simple, clean)....
Twitter launching what looks like a reddit competitor on the same day third party apps shut down ( i.imgur.com )
Boost for Lemmy has been listed in Play Store ( play.google.com )
Apollo is official dead and no longer opens ( i.imgur.com )
Pretty sure RIF is officially down now.
I just got disconnected from RIF. I thought it would last until midnight, but it looks like the plug has been pulled. RIP.
Almost a decade. This is weirdly emotional for me. ( lemmy.ca )
To be a redditor is to be a cynic. To be a lemming is to be sincere.
Dedicated to, and inspire by, the beautiful minds of the many, many genuine people I’ve met here, and the hope for many more to come....

Hello there, and welcome to the Fediverse! Let’s get you started....
How many 3rd party apps would we need to make reddit free again?
u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party apps will fall under the free model because they wont make enough API calls to come under the paid model. So how many times would we need to clone, and rename, the good 3rd party apps and split the users up between them to make reddit free again?...
