Hi, I think I’m doing this right. Just joined Lemmy lol because of this. Can people see my comment?

Ok tidy up this place. We have visitors coming soon.

You’re gonna pay the mods then, right?

Right?

Do it, please, the subreddits need to migrate here

I just left, deleted my account of 15ish years tonight, no regrets. Happy to be here.

More ads? There's already a bunch of them mixed with posts and comments. What more, force people to watch an ad before loading pages?

I'm not on Reddit much these days but every time I am and I see threads with people discussing these Reddit policy changes Lemmy gets mentioned. Usually with people complaining they already tried or couldn't figure it out or that it isn't good enough...

I think as the enshittification marches on they'll be some more exodus from Reddit but generally I think everyone is just getting used to all online social media being a total corporate disaster.

Looks like I dropped Reddit at just the right time.

Just came to lemmy again after learning this shit!! mass exodus coming soon

i hope there is a mass migration here

Another day of thanking my past self for leaving

Digg: "join us reddit..."

I haven't had an account since the Apollo purge but fuck Spez.

Can't wait to see the mental gymnastics subreddit moderators will perform to defend this!

watch them lock old reddit behind a paywall just because it's the best part about reddit

fuck /u/spez

Is there anywhere I can find a complete scrape of Reddit threads and comments from before the 3rd party app apocalypse? There was a lot of useful info shared on there, but I don't want anything to do with what that site has become. I'm happy just to CTRL+F a big dataset. It'll probably still work better than either Reddit or Google does nowadays. Without media I imagine I could fit it somewhere.

Also, Spez is a greedy little pig boy.

What's Reddit? A clone of Lemmy?

So, what's the stage after "enshitification"? "Enspezed?"

That's why I'm here. Just made an account. Sick of everything being a goddamn subscription.

As much as we'd like to joke about the sudden influx of new Lemmy users that will result from this lets all be real, it will be a few new users. Most Reddit users will accept whatever is thrown at them from that company while crying about it on Reddit. I don't know what the phenomena is but it seems that most people would rather stay on the bad platform than try something new and slightly different. I'm cool with that, I like niche platforms.

In order for lemmy (or any alternative) to really take off, efforts need to be made to mass migrate content. The biggest inhibitor of adoption is the lack of communities, and the user submitted info backing them. Not only would it be beneficial for alternatives to have this on their servers, efforts should be made to index and back up the mountain of how to and general hyper specific sub reddit information for the good of society. The world already lost so much during the last purge of users comments and posts, further enshitification of reddit will only lead to more getting lost. Are any groups working to scrape all (or the most important data) from reddit and break it out in a searchable format here?
