Because Reddit plans to kill 3rd party clients. No sync no Reddit
If ljdawson could port Sync to Lemmy, that’d be awesome. Lemme is nice, but the app is kinda meh right now.
I came for the drugs and hookers. So far, pretty disappointed.
Escaping Reddit’s bullsh*t. I exclusively use Reddit using Infinity, Apollo and old.reddit.com. They are now killing the API (and 3rd party clients for that matter) and I don’t think that old.reddit.com will live much longer tbh and I cannot be bothered to use the new Reddit. It takes ages to load and is WAY to bloated. Add the NFT Profile pictures and RPAN into the mix and you have a dead website in my eyes.
Mainly because its libre and federated, what pushed me over the edge was the reddit api changes (R.I.P in advance infinity)
The idea of having various communities of different sizes and all kinds of topics as we know it from reddit just fits so perfectly to the idea of the fediverse! No more big data companies - truly community owned places for discussion and sharing of information. I really hope lemmy will grow.
Its exciting seeing these few lemmy instances grow a LOT in the past few days. Federated services really give us a chance to break US tech’s stranglehold on world communications. Together we’re strong!
is there an easy way for me to see the growth of Lemmy or specific instances? 🤩
