Most people here are probably already aware of the situation on Reddit. This is a thread to discuss it here.

Hi, everyone! I’ve really missed r/flashlight. This does feel something like home, though. Glad to be here!
Just got signed up.
Is there any plan to port some information over such as popular emitters / buying guides? Also, is it possible to have it quickly accessible in the sidebar (kind of mimicking the ‘About’ section of our Reddit?) it looks like posts can be favourited/saved. I’m still learning the ropes here so apologies if I’m missing it.

Probably. One thing Lemmy doesn’t have is a wiki, but some of those things work as regular posts.
There’s a sidebar and it works much like it does on old.reddit.
Nice, I was waiting for some activity here!
It’s been 48hrs. Is r/flashlight coming back or has the mod team decided to make the blackout indefinite?
It’s reopened as restricted with a poll about what to do next.
I think you might end up with an echo chamber over on Reddit, as people will likely stick to a single platform
I have now been on Lemmy for approximately 90 seconds! Layout feels an awful lot like Reddit, seems like it’ll be relatively easy to navigate. Are there apps that work well here, or is web-based the best way to go? I thought about downloading the Mastodon app and trying to access this community from there, but I honestly don’t have a solid understanding of the entire decentralized Fediverse thing.
Either way, thanks for creating a backup community Zak!
for iOS, Mlem. Its very beta though
Nabbed it through TestFlight, will take a look at it later. Thanks!
There’s Mlem (iOS) and Jerboa (Android), but they’re not very mature and the web interface seems like the way to go right now.
Appreciate it. I just got Mlem from TestFlight, will check it out in a bit. One of the most recent patch notes seems to imply that they hope they fixed the issue of accounts being deleted between logins, so I might hold off for juuuust a little bit.
Checking in! I initially signed up for kbin and just got a lemmy account too. There’s very little, flashlight related going on at kbin at the minute. I know the site’s struggling with traffic. The UI seems odd.
First impressions here it feels more like home!

Ditto, exactly my impression so far. Perhaps when r/flashlight comes back we can start to encourage people there to move to here massively and just tell Reddit to go eff itself in the lake…
I like this tactic!
