patchymoose ( @patchymoose@beehaw.org ) English72•1 year agoAwesome. The Linux community should be among the vanguard of this whole effort given our philosophy.
Honestly I’ve only been on Lemmy for a few days and I don’t anticipate going back to Reddit. I’ll probably use Reddit for IT help queries periodically but that’s it. I like Lemmy quite a bit more.
even better: post links to your IT help queries on lemmy to reddit.
SeerLite ( @SeerLite@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English1•1 year agoStart searching Reddit (and viewing using a proxy like libreddit). If nothing is found post on Lemmy
kunday ( @kunday@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 year agoWhat’s the Lemmy equivalent? I’m still new and figuring it out here.
ForbiddenRoot ( @ForbiddenRoot@lemmy.ml ) English39•1 year agoIt’d be even better if all these subreddits indefinitely go dark. As someone who grew up using the “old” internet with Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists for discussions, I am happy that decentralized way doing things might be adopted again.
TheyCallMeHacked ( @TheyCallMeHacked@discuss.tchncs.de ) English11•1 year agoI mean… The plan to go dark was originally to protest the API pricing and policy changes. And as far as I understood, they’re all going dark until Reddit backtracks those announcements
ForbiddenRoot ( @ForbiddenRoot@lemmy.ml ) English11•1 year agoInitially at least, the subs I saw were talking of going dark only for a couple of days, with only a few stating that they will go dark indefinitely. If everyone is on board now for indefinite darkness then that’s great!
TheyCallMeHacked ( @TheyCallMeHacked@discuss.tchncs.de ) English0•1 year agoMaybe I got it wrong then, but at least that’s what I understood initially. I guess we’ll see
CrabAndBroom ( @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoI think some of them are changing that now and going dark indefinitely. I’m pretty sure I saw that r/Videos which is one of the biggest subreddits said they were going down indefinitely, and r/AskHistorians was going completely down for the two days, then staying in read-only mode indefinitely after that so people can still look up info but can’t interact with anything.
I think that’s right, but I’m not going back to reddit to check.
jellyosaurus ( @jellyosaurus@pawb.social ) English3•1 year agoi agree honestly. i am fucking tired of the internet going so corporate, the users need to take control back.
Mcballs1234 ( @Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml ) English23•1 year agoDamn, watching all of the subreddits go private so fast give a sense of power
iod ( @iod@lemmy.ml ) English22•1 year agor/linux_gaming and r/kde as well
Joe ( @joe@lemmy.knocknet.net ) English14•1 year agoThat’s ok we have /c/linux now.
visforvictory ( @visforvictory@lemmy.ml ) English12•1 year agoi don’t think i could really care less.
lemmy is just really exciting!!
Xeon ( @Xeon@lemmy.ml ) English11•1 year agoGood. Also good to see a lot of other subreddits are going dark. Been using Lemmy for just a few hours, and I do not miss Reddit one bit anymore.
nivenkos ( @nivenkos@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year agoLemmy can be a bit slow, especially with remote communities.
But damn, if Reddit’s only option is the new UI there’s no way I’ll ever use it.
Vuraniute ( @Vuraniute@lemmy.world ) English1•1 year agosame, only a minute on this website and I do not miss reddit one bit.
redawl ( @redawl@sh.itjust.works ) English8•1 year agoHell yeah! I wondered when it would start. Anyone know what time the other subreddits are going dark?
This is all i’ve got!
redawl ( @redawl@sh.itjust.works ) English4•1 year agoAwesome! I like that it updates live
davysnavy ( @davysnavy@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English6•1 year agoThere’s a livestream on twitch as well

DaveX64 ( @DaveX64@lemmy.ca ) English7•1 year ago/r/endeavouros has also gone dark.
fox ( @fox@beehaw.org ) English6•1 year agoJust uninstalled the 3rd party Reddit app I have on my phone.
KNova ( @knova@links.dartboard.social ) English6•1 year agoSomeone else pointed out they were going to use their 3rd party app til the day it got turned off to very explicitly show Reddit the reason they stopped showing up.
Saik0 ( @Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com ) English5•1 year agoReddit 100% know how much traffic is coming in through their API. They can also 100% track how much of your usage in via what method. You don’t need to wait until the last day. They know that you’re using Apollo or RIF. They’ve already calculated that cost and either assume that you’re a sheep that will simply migrate to their app or don’t care about you in specific. Either way they’ve already written you off. No reason to drive any additional traffic to their platform.
BlueÆther ( @BlueEther@no.lastname.nz ) English1•1 year agoI neither use a 3rd party app to read read or see ads when I read reddit, yet hear I am with a lemmy instance spun up on a vps. It my go private (or not) yet , too soon to tell.
I’m keeping infinity installed till it stops working, I wiped and deleted all my accounts though
