Seems like Reddit is completely down now. Frontpage hasn’t loaded for 15 or 20 minutes.
RIF still works lol.
That probably won’t last given Spez’s bullshit, but I gotta say, Lemmy is looking pretty promising. The Jeroba mobile app is a little underwhelming though, voting and replying to comments is a hassle. Maybe the RIF dev will make a Lemmy app or help improve Jeroba.
The RedReader Dev had said he’s looking to include Lemmy.
Never tried that one either, I usually used RiF. Is that on Android?
Yep. You can get it on FDroid package manager or the Google Play Store.
Awesome, thanks!
there was talks of the reddit infinity app possibly incorporating lemmy into itself
Never tried that one, my go to was RiF. Is that on Android?
it’s on android
Awesome, thanks!
RIF’s dev is busy helping Tildes, but I’m sure with Rexxit many more experienced app devs will submit more PRs and write their own solutions.
Damn, I might give Tildes a more serious look just because of that. RiF was great.
If you’re using an iPhone, Mlem is in TestFlight beta. https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc
I’m on Android, but I’m sure other people with iPhones would be excited to test it out!
How is it a hassle? It seems perfect-enough to me.
At least on Android, I can’t respond to or vote on responses that show up in my inbox. Clicking on the message itself does nothing instead of taking me to the message. The UI definitely needs improvements in usability but it’s still very much in development as far as I could tell.
I think it’s having trouble keeping up with the rush of users. I’ll admit though it’s pretty frustrating that my upvotes don’t register. I get “timeout” after a few seconds.
I only seem to be having that problem with Jeroba. In the browser it seems to work fine with the lemmies I’ve tried
At first it was both, couldn’t upvote on the browser or Jerboa. Since this afternoon though I haven’t been getting a timeout error on Jerboa.
Edit: nevermind it’s happening again. Maybe it’s happening due to server load?
Yeah it’s really slow right now. Like you, I assume it’s because of an influx of new people but took me like a minute to just log in. Hopefully it’s not as bad once the rush of people starts settling
Oh! I just figured that out – try tapping-and-holding for a second. Some menu options should come up then.
Thanks I’ll give that a try. Upvote/downvote/reply should all just appear by default though IMO
I personally like the clean presentation, but I would definitely be happy compromising with it being a setting we can choose, and defaulting to it being visible - sitewide, not just in the inbox.
Miner’s android, I am using jerboa, and they are appearing automatically for me.
So is the Boost app. Quick look at Reddit a lot of the usual players on r/All
4909 dark atm, sad to see it slowly coming down. Hold!! Hold!!
If most of the subreddits go private, will there be only ads shown on the main web page?
Probably? Otherwise they’d not get any money
Love this website, well done Dev/s
Would be nice to see a graph over time
I decided to check the front page (as in /r/popular, what people see by default) out of morbid curiosity since most of Reddit has gone dark now, and honestly it’s like nothing has changed for the casual user.
The biggest subs with the most traffic haven’t gone dark at all, and all the same posts and popular stuff still fill the front page, so for many people I suspect they’re not even going to feel this, but maybe it’s a bit too premature to be making this conclusion, let’s see what happens.
EDIT: I was somewhat premature with this post, even /r/popular is pretty barren as things move nowhere near as fast. That being said, it’s disappointing to see how much is still open, and how some subreddits (such as /r/pcmasterrace) are clearly missing the point by allowing “certain posts”.
I have multiple reddit accounts and on one my front page was literally blank so it depends on what subs you look at
Mine isn’t empty, but it’s very different from normal. Still lots of stuff with lots of upvotes, but it’s just so off. If I didn’t know about the blackout stuff, I would’ve noticed something was up still.
IDK, seems quite dessert in my end. From my subscriptions most are gone (except vim, vulkan, accidentalgimbli and some very small ones, shame on them) and the front page (edit: r/popular) looks very empty too, with very little posts (many of them from “not too nice” communities anyway, like there was an attempt, publicfreakout and such, which is kind of on brand)
I suspect curated lists will definitely feel a huge impact, but if I had to guess (and I may be wrong), most traffic comes from browsing the default front page (/r/popular). There isn’t quite as much content, but there’s still definitely a lot of the same stuff still around.
I could just be too early of course, as many are still in the process of shutting down and people haven’t gotten off Reddit yet.
hmmm… are we checking the same page r/popular? normally there is a new post every X minutes and now in the main page there are several >8h posts… I think is definitely noticeable and obvious (not to mention the three posts with information about the protest on very popular subreddits)
maybe you were expecting an empty page? that will never happen, if that would happen reddit admins would reopen subs or even upload random memes to new subs to make it “not empty”
or maybe reddit has local content and we are seeing different r/popular, I’m in Europe
I browse through a privacy frontend (libreddit), but I’ve never really seen new posts constantly on /r/popular, usually after maybe 30 minutes to an hour.
I definitely wasn’t expecting an empty page, but I was expecting it to be… different, but it isn’t really, it’s just all the same memes / politics posts that I’m used to seeing.
to be fair, when I say minutes I meant that I used to check out r/popular several times a day, not every minute, so 30 mins is perfectly possible. Normally I used to see “new content” every time, and quite a few posts, today doesn’t seem to “move” that much, although I haven’t make a very thorough study, I just woke up 1h ago and checked twice after reading your comments.
Also, most of it is super old (>8h) and the content is quite different, normally there are a lot of “everything” (“good” and “bad”), but today seems like everything is in the “negative” side (AITA, wcgw, dankmemes…) and some other subs that I have never seen. (quoting here since good and bad is very subjective)
But we may have different perceptions and that is fine.
I think you’re right, it’s been a couple of hours now and nothing has moved, I’ve also gone into some of the reddits still open and they’re all restricted, so really there’s no content.
I jumped the gun a bit there, now it’s time to try and avoid the site indefinitely.
I just checked all and popular, the top posts are all about the blackout. It did feel a bit empty, which is good.
same posts and popular stuff
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but all the top post from today and yesterday are reposts of previous top posts. More so than usual. I might have tightened my tinfoil a bit too much, but it think the Reddit staff is busy posting popular posts to make it appear alive to oblivious and new users.
This is amazing to watch!
Noticing that the total subreddit count is going up. Not nearly as fast as they’re going dark, but wonder how many duplicate sub’s are getting created. Or is it something more nefarious being done my the admins?
This isn’t a list of every single subreddit, pretty sure this site only lists subs that have pledged to go dark. If you Ctrl+F something like askreddit, it doesn’t show up at all, because it isn’t going dark.
There are almost 3 million subreddits. And over 100k active subreddits.
Shit is collapsing. I hope the Reddit Board are enjoying a huge bowl of ‘Found Out’.
I’ve been watching this for four hours and can’t look away, send help
This has really opened my eyes to just how many niche porn subs there are…maybe too many?
Never too many.
I’ve already seen a megathread on Lemmy linking to porn communities. It’s inevitable
Oh God, that’s horrible.
Do you have a link?
I can’t believe they’re hanging us out to dry like this.
Found it. There is an instance called lemmynsfw.com.
Just to be safe, what’s the link so I never accidentally go there. For science.
Come on r/Australia. Do the right thing!!!
They’re still public but they’ve locked down new posting to mod announcements only, which is kind of confusing but at least it’s something.
As a long time member of r/Australia, it is very on point for them to not join the blackout.
Why?
many will have a cake day this week, it will be an indication of a fellow refugee hahaha
Holy shit over 2.5 billion combined subscribers. I’ve also been seeing quite a few people deleting their accounts, myself included.
It’s kind of a useless stat considering the amount of overlap.
Same here, I’m planning to delete my account on 06-30 and append a message to all my comments why I did so.
kinda wild to see the variety of communities that are a part of the blackout. and the sheer amount of porn subreddits there are. jesus.
