It is working again, Reddit fixed the issue
And it seems to be broken again this morning.
People who are still on Reddit, are like people who are still on X.
No I don’t mean twitter, I mean X the drug. Y’all mother f**ers are on literal drugs I tell you.
There are a ton of specific communities on Reddit that don’t really exist anywhere else. Like, Lemmy is fine if all you want is anarcho-socialist Linux users but there’s a subreddit for my hometown, some specific weird apps I use, my favorite video games, the machines I use at work, etc. Until Lemmy can branch past just people who use it for ideological reasons it won’t replace Reddit.
As long as people with specific interests insist on going back to reddit though, it won’t be able to do that. There are some specific video game communities (especially for newer releases like Baldurs Gate 3, Helldivers, etc) btw
As soon as lemmy has a larger user base (or boost dies for good) I’ll kick it. There are so many communities on Reddit that don’t exist here, even though lemmy is obviously better.
