    I hope we get better content. I’m really tired of all the posts on the frontpage being meta. Like i had to scroll to find anything about the student loan news. I go to reddit and boom I get actual content still.

    … i want conversations about things that aren’t lemmy or reddit. … memes are cool but man most of the frontpage that isn’t meta is memes. … Fingers crossed it gets better soon.

    I was still using Slide, I was hoping it was under the radar enough that it would squeak by but nope. Goodbye Reddit. I was user 4163 16 years ago, and now it’s time to get the fediverse up and going.

    I’m here from using Joey for Reddit. I’m surprised it seems like it wasn’t as popular as the other third party apps. It was great for me

    Been a redditor since 2010, RiF user from about 2015 on, then Apollo user since 2020. There’s a few work related subs I’ll still visit occasionally on a web browser (using old.reddit of course) but other than that I’m done with it. On the bright side - I should be more productive and on my phone less!

      A few apps that have a smaller amount of users have been granted a delay in which they can set up a subscription scheme.

      We don’t know yet what the subscription cost is going to be and whether the whole thing will be sustainable. It’s not clear to me for example what will happen if the users/traffic for these apps eventually rises (which is bound to happen if they’re the only ones left standing). Or why a deal couldn’t be reached with the large apps too.

      Not to mention the whole sour taste, a couple months ago if Reddit had come out and said “we’re putting all ‘power user’ stuff behind a paywall, pay a sub directly to us to help us out” I would’ve seriously considered it. Now, not so much.

    I noticed ReddPlanet was down today. Just checked it out of curiosity. Haven’t been on Reddit in a few weeks.
