This truly is Reddit’s successor.
Bleh, gatekeeping is trash

Regardless of the success (or failure) of the blackout what’s important is to create an alternative platform to Reddit. The blackout doesn’t have much legs because of the lack of alternative. Deep inside we all know that many will just go back to reddit once the blackout will end - it’s why the importance of creating an alternative.
Keep boosting Lemmy.
I think the fundamental thing for alternatives to succeed is that they can’t primarily exist as outlets for us to complain about reddit. Certainly there’s going to be a lot of that given that reddit’s actions sparked a partially-reluctant exodus, but the best revenge is living well and all that.
The crunch will come after June 30th. We’ll see how many people really ditch Reddit once third party apps stop working.
Do you think if the mobile Reddit apps stop working (the ones that are miles better than the official Reddit app), mobile users are going to flock to kbin/lemmy? Are there any good mobile apps? All the ones I could find are extremely alpha/beta quality.
i’m so glad we’re off reddit so now we can say what we really feel about spez
Apollo was the only reason i used reddit…
Joey for me
Same with Sync
Same with Relay
Same with RIF
Same with RedReader
Reddit is going to let RedReader still work. They need it for accessibility. Also the dev is thinking of letting you access lemmy with RedReader.
I remember having to explain to people what subreddit where, once lemmy/kbin upgrade their UI enough it will be no more complicated.
Kbins build docs are a nightmare. I have experience with Linux and docker. Can’t get them to work at all. Closest I get are 500 errors and one can’t find a log tossing errors to explain it to save my life.
Maybe I’m not as well familiarized with the parts and pieces as I thought, though I’ve built plenty of Drupal stacks and the like, even using docker and Ansible etc.
Then I look at PRs showing sql injection fixes and XSS fixes and I’m like…oh
Edit: See my reply below.
Did you mean to reply to something else? I don’t see how this is relevant to OP
The biggest benefit I see so far is the lack of bots. I know there are still some bots out there but most of them are useful bots and not just karma farming bots or bots designed for propaganda.
