    Seems a good a thread as any for my first post. Exciting times. Reddit showing its true colours might well make the internet just a little bit of a better place if it helps the Fediverse take off.

    Boost for reddit isn’t off yet but it’s just a matter of time. Setup this account today and downloaded jerboa. Trying to figure everything out but hopefully this isn’t an echo chamber like reddit is.

    Looking forward to some reddit app developer with a budget (just not as much of a budget as Reddit dreams of) during stepping in to give a better ui to this thing

      The Sync for Reddit dev is in the process or making a lemmy client - so that’s something to look forward to!

    A lot of people have already left Reddit Fuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.

    And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what’s going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.

    In short, it’s unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.

    The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don’t think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.

      I have to agree with this. It’d be nice to get another spike like we had last time, but I really doubt it. Sure, people may still come after the 30th, but not like the previous spike we had before.

        There may not be as much of a user spike, but I would think there will be a content spike. How much Reddit content is posted using 3rd party apps, and how many of those content creators are going to swap to the official app vs utilizing alternatives such as Lemmy for future postings?

          I hope so. More good content would be nice. Still wishing some of the smaller subs I was in reddit migrates to lemmy. And fair point about the TPA users, although I can imagine many of them already moved to lemmy previously.

      I think the apps no longer working will be the impetus for many to actually search up options. They almost certainly know about the API saga, but not necessarily about Lemmy or the fediverse. Until now, many likely held onto hope that this shit would turn around, and they won’t have been considering a plan B.

      There is totally content that I miss being over here but it’s very much niche small communities that just don’t have a real motivation to move or individual content curators that do it for fun and aren’t being impacted by the changes.

    Tbh I just hope that reddit will fail after 1st of july just so they would finally understand that the community is everything.

      It won’t die in a straight line, but this is an inflection point that can help this or another platform mature to the point that it becomes an easier move for the next wave of dissidents.
