What users of Reddit are not realizing when they bash Apollo is that this is more than Apollo. It’s all third party apps. And this goes beyond third party Reddit clients. It’s also custom bots that “help” keep those subs clean-ish. People do not comprehend exactly what is impacted by API changes. The mods see it, people don’t.

Really? People do that?!

I would love to be a fly on the wall come July. If the advertisers start to pull their spots, the earth may rumble just a tad

This is exactly what humanity should be. We left Reddit for several reasons, one is toxicity. I’m getting too old for that shit

Support style subs will continue to operate, reopen, or stay open. Heart conditions, addictions, etc. Until those groups are created in Lemmy, there is no way those users will go. And if there are those that scrap their account on Reddit, they would likely create a lurker account there just to participate in those subs

Memmy is offering better stability over Mlem at this point. Both are lacking features but are in their early stages and show great promise. This post is from Memmy

That looks awesome. I may have to tackle that some day.

Hopefully, but somehow I doubt the same amount would join. Those that are indefinite are not enough.

Had the subs gone off for longer (2 weeks) or indefinitely, the risk of Google bots dropping links may have shaken things up more. Personally, I don’t see Reddit going anywhere. There frankly is not enough backing for a sustained enough period of time. Reddit knows tomorrow subs who joined for 2 days will re-open.

They just keep digging
