I don’t see Old Reddit lasting long. They’ve cut beloved features before, and they’re still calling New Reddit a “beta feature”. After they’ve pumped enough resources into developing it, I’m sure they’ll move past the “test” phase and just cut Old Reddit out entirely. That’s probably going to be Lemmy’s next big user surge.
Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy? I remember for a while this past June 2023 there were a lot of auto-deletions for mentioning or linking to Lemmy. I was never clear on who was deleting things and where. I guess linking to the r/Lemmy subreddit (or a fediverse sub) could work as long as the subreddit doesn’t get banned.
Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy
It does. Try commenting with https://phtn.app/ link in the comment, it will get removed instantly.
HTTP 500 🤔
I don’t think that this will be the reason for another mass migration. Maybe some users will switch but it won’t be a significant number
MLMYM(it is a lemmy client that looks like reddit) They do suppress lemmy from time to time. Do not mention it in a post(comment about it instead)
This can probably be modeled off the Digg to Reddit transition. Digg made a couple bad decisions in a row and Reddit exploded. Reddit is making a couple potentially bad decisions in a row, so give it a year or two and the fediverse will come around.
When Reddit ipos and it tanks. They’ll push more bad decisions. That’ll be when people start to leave.
When Reddit IPOs, hopefully mods will wonder why they’re doing free work just so spez can get rich of their backs.
I think the ipo won’t do well. I think it’s going to underperform drastically. I wouldn’t invest. Too much drama and controversy to draw my investment dollars.
I forget which bank but they already wrote off a large part of their investment.
If it’s the interface they miss, it can be duplicated on lemmy. Beehaw did a pretty good job https://old.beehaw.org/
.world and .ca have the “old” interface as well. ( https://old.lemmy.world/ and https://old.lemmy.ca )
by existing
Does Lemmy need to grab more users in the first place? I’d rather interact with people genuinely interested in such a model, not salty refugees seeing it as a compromise inferior to what they lost. Nah, I’m good as we are now.
But there’s also people saying there’s not enough content here. For more content there needs to be more people.
