RedditIsFun is down, so I am out. Used it for the 10 years I was there, and don't like the "New Reddit" they've been creating for monetization-sake.
10 years here as well. Was sad opening it up and seeing nothing, even though I knew it was coming.

The reddit app I used stopped working yesterday (yes I know why but it's funnier to pretend I don't) so here I am! Trying to figure out how lemmy works in the context of the larger fediverse.
Sync has stopped working for me now. Looking forward to the future on Lemmy!
I was gonna keep lurking Reddit until Sync shut down, now I'm on Lemmy. Took me a little bit to figure the platform out tbh, having third party apps for it now seems to be great.

Well, rif is gone, so now reddit is too. I hope this place and others on lemmy grow to have vibrant and flourishing communities

Was waiting for Narwhal to break and it never happened. Turns out the dev got a deal to not pay anything until he can release a ‘Narwhal 2’ that’s subscription only. Wasn’t an Apollo user but the dev got shafted and reddit didn’t offer anything close to what the Narwhal dev did. Still deleted my account as planned and deleted their app off my phone.
Yeah I saw that too, spez is a piece of shit, did you also see all the lies he made up about the Apollo dev? It was so childish lol

On that note, jeroba throws an error every time i open it about how this instance is older than the lowest supported version, but it seems like i can still use most of the sites functinality? Just thought i'd mention that
Yep, that's a screw up by the Jerboa devs. If we upgraded to 0.18 we would lose captcha, and version 0.18.1 with captcha hasn't been released yet. So there is no way for us to safely upgrade to the version Jerboa wants just yet.

Good luck and godspeed admins, and get well soon @supakitty@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Exciting times! And get well soon Kaity!
Honestly, it's really hard to say what will happen. I do think there's gonna be an exodus from reddit, however it's hard to say where people will go after that. kbin has been coming up in discussions about reddit alternatives, but same with some of the other federated setups. I've been searching for the past week for something that looks/feels like reddit and this is the closest thing so far. I will say, hopefully since it's going down on a Friday, there might be a lull until Monday before people really start coming in.

It's a good time to encourage those who can afford it to donate a couple of bucks to your home instance operator for server costs, etc. :)
I kept my reddit account until today, coping that Reddit will go back on their word and allow Apollo to continue working. Granted, it didn't. So I looped shreddit with a PowerShell script and sealed the deal today and just put the final nail in the coffin and deleted my account. Guess it's Lemmy from now on.
get well soon @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone !
and good luck to the server and admins!
hopefully things go smoothly enough :)

Heal-up, @supakaity. All best wishes to your body's restoration work.
I stepped away from that website years ago, saw voat come and go, and am giving this a shot. So far, it checks all the right boxes! Welcome one and all.
Hi, I'm one of the RiFugees, using the same name I did on Reddit. This looks like my place on lemmy for now, thanks to all who had the foresight to set it up!
Apollo is gone, rip. hellloooo lemmy!
I moved over here in preperation for the shutdown. This place seems nice.
Apollo and RIF already stopped working, so I’m not sure if the influx of users will increase that much tomorrow.

o7 ready for the wave!!
First comment on Lemmy! I think that it'll be hard to for people to understand instances at first but hopefully over time the value of chosing how you interact will be clear
Goodbye Baconreader, hello blåhaj
Get well! Hopefully it won't be TOO bananas since I like the quietness without all the riff raff and bigotry of the other sites :P
I imagine we only have a few hours left of Boost. Set myself up here today after hearing about this place. Can't wait until there's more apps for it.
I invade! I'm sad about the small communities that are dying but I hope I can be a part of new ones here!
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone Hope @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone get better soon!
