Hi! I jumped ship following the #redditmigration lol so I guess here’s my #introduction. Currently a music composition graduate student, just trying cool new (to me) styles of music. I’ve got a pretty wide variety of nerdy interests like #dnd#anime#videogames (#FFXIV and #TOTK are my comfort games right now) and #magicthegathering.
Goodbye old friend, one of my most used apps #Apollo goes to the big App Store in the sky. However, on a happier note the #fediverse future looks bright with #lemmy and #kbin growing rapidly. I hope they will inspire apps of the same quality as Apollo.
If you need a cozy place to hangout feel free to join packmates.org. If you want something more spicy and reddit-like we got you covered at yiffit.net.
Whatever instance you end up joining, we're looking forward to having you around :vlpn_happy_heart:
Twitter: Login wall and rate limits!
Reddit: Third party app blockade!
Fediverse: Waves with open arms
Instance admins: Servers panting, begging for mercy, as the migration wave crashes upon us. We’re the unsung heroes, sacrificing our sanity for the sake of social media’s survival!
Thanks for all you do admins. We’ll all be forever grateful 🙏
@ilyess even us smallfry servers are sweating today! 🥵 It's honestly great to see. #Welcome to the #Fediverse, it's like the prescription version of #SocialMedia, where #Twitter and #Reddit are more like heroin :kek:
As we start to see more users join, it's inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed....
Habiendo #Reddit matado a sus third-party apps, #Lemmy se ha convertido en una buena opción para migrar, aunque con muy reducidas opciones para usarse cómodamente en móvil.
Para quien interese, encontré una app para iOS que está en Beta y solo se puede usar uniéndose a su TestFlight, se llama #Memmy, y busca entregar una experiencia similar a la de Apollo, y hasta ahora lo ha conseguido bastante bien para estar en Beta! Merece que le den una oportunidad ahora qué hay una gran corriente de migración gracias a las cagadas de Reddit.
I did not anticipate when i installed #apollo so many years ago, that it would become such an integral part of interacting with #reddit that when it now shut down, i dont find myself looking for a new apollo, but rather a new reddit. Thanks @christianselig for a great app!
So, whats the place to go to find: community curated, aggregated by topic, content - in the #fediverse ? #redditMigration
I hear #kbin and #lemmy being mentioned, any tips?
So, I have deleted my #Reddit account after editing my comments and posts to say "This user has edited all of their comments in protest of /u/spez fucking up Reddit, All Hail Apollo". After today, #Apollo will no longer work. As a person with #ADHD and feelings of intense #loneliness, Apollo made Reddit my "Doom Scroll" app to keep myself away from bad thoughts. If you are struggling to cope, you're not alone. #redditmigration#Lemmy#Kbin#Fediverse
It's D-Day for Reddit's third-party apps like Apollo and rif is fun for Reddit (RIF). Some will be sticking around with the help of subscription-only models. The Verge has the latest.
@TechDesk ya know, it'd be FANTASTIC if we could stop giving people reasons to stay on the dying site that is #Reddit and start pushing the alternatives. It's too late for the shithole if a site. Stop pushing people to stay, it's not worth it. #redditMigration#lemmy#kbin#fediverse
I would normally say centralization makes perfect sense for a list of where to find #Reddit alternative communities. But https://sub.rehab/ is a shit show. Drags my browser to a crawl (what could it possibly be doing in my client that is so computationally intensive that the mouse jerks around?)
Then when I try to add a record, it gives this vague error popup every time:
“Error We were unable to process your request. Sorry about that. Let us know in a GitHub issue”
MS Github? No thanks. Then these guys ignore submissions sent to their Mastodon account. I think they spend more time with their “buy me a coffee” tip jar than making the service usable. I suggest first checking these sites:
Reminder: reddit may be dead, but trolls are not.
