Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

Rest in Power RiF. Time to figure out Lemmy

It's time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!

Apollo refugee here. Wefwef and Lemmy are very nice :)

As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/

Let's go.

Reddit is dead to me anyways.

Yeah, but I do think a lot of clueless folks won't leave. Honestly, I wonder if reddit is undergoing a massive brain-drain right now. I rather hope so, because it would mean Lemmy is getting some high-grade folks.

This is pretty much why I'm here... It feels like the folks who left are going to be good company.

Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can't wait for Sync for Lemmy.

Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

It’s been a very chill and peaceful switch, once I get used to the change I plan on helping any way I can to help the community grow. We can rebuild together 🖖

I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.

It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.

I am floored.

Fuck Reddit and the bootlickers all over the site now. Enjoy brown nosing spez as you scroll through ads on the shitty official app

Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

Using the wefwef app is just like using Apollo, good clone

Left reddit and won't look back. I like it here more already. Great community. Everyone here just wants it to work so bad and is being very patient through growing pains. Love you guys and fuck reddit!

Fuckspez

Just an FYI - some apps are still working as of this moment... But yeah, most of us know it's only a matter of time.

Honestly, the content seems higher quality here. Perhaps the cesspools of Reddit were hard to spot for those of us who lurked there for over a decade.

Quality over quantity. Cheers to a new horizon, everyone.

Fyi the real member count is almost 20k; the sidebar only shows how many are subscribed to it from your instance.

It shows 360 from vlemmy.net for example.

I didn’t know who Huffman, spez or the fact there was a bid to IPO until Apollo’s announcement of closure occurred. Why? Because I didn’t subscribe the Reddit’s main subreddits, I was very niche.

Once I learned about all that, I vowed if they didn’t reverse their standing and treatment of Christian, I was leaving.

Once the last week of June came and Spez triple-downed on his terrible business decision, I began using tools to destroy all of my content including topics I made that were all ranking #1 in Google, that causes plenty of PMs years after creation.

I’ve since deleted all but one account that I’ll probably hold onto just in case they decide to block my access to information I need.

I’ve deleted Apollo, Reddit’s official app and logged out on all browsers across all platforms I use. I’m done and liking WefWef as a replacement.

Well that's that I guess. No more Reddit on my phone.

Y'all are missing the real tragedy of this situation. This api fiasco means the end of RTV, reddit terminal viewer, the world's finest TTY compatible reddit client. The days of reading reddit on an electronic typewriter are over.

Rip sync

A few last minute loopholes were carved in according to comments in this post

• some apps have gotten a temporary reprieve such as Narwhal
• Some apps have gotten an exception for access for visually impaired.
• the NSFW block is exempt for mods so if you start your own sub, you can still see all content or so it seems (I’m not quite sure because Narwhal still seems fully functional in this regard and I am not a mod)

Former RIFer here.

got my data takeout request from reddit just in time

ran powerdelete suite to delete everything

it took almost 3 weeks to process the data takeout request, that means it is computationally expensive, everyone should ask for it to send a signal

Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD

I was on Reddit for 13 years. I've been using sync for as long as I knew there was a mobile app. Lemmy seems really relaxed and I'm looking forward to it!

I miss RIF already

This is my first time joining an online community from the beginning. I'm so hype for this.
