I've seen rumors that api leaks have indicated that the new thing will be tipping posts directly.

Which is EXACTLY what that site needs - repost bots being financially incentivesed. I guess that's one way to get your usage back - Reddit started as just two dudes posting links to each other and will end as ten thousand bots reposting those links.

Growing pains for sure. The power of reddit is it's ubiquity - communities on reddit can be very granular because the critical mass has been reached for it to still function. I dont want the homepage of reddit, the social network black hole of endless scrolling, I want conversations about things I can't discuss anywhere else. Home assistant yaml tips and the best builds in Path of Exile and whatnot. While I like the long-term implication a of lemmy, right now it's specicially the worst part of reddit.
