Came in support of Apollo; I just couldn’t in good conscience continue to support Reddit (even after 19 years) with how they treated external clients.
Found it similar to Reddit so it scratched the same itch.
Left Reddit because of the API stuff. Still on Lemmy because it’s not as addictive and has a much higher concentration of leftists.
Same.
Saw the whole fiasco of Reddit unraveling and then went to Lemmy. Seriously fuck Spez and how he treated the developer of Apollo.
Because fuck Spez, that’s why.
Because reddit shut down my favorite app.
I’m still using BaconReader thanks to reVanved.
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.
Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).
For Lemmy, I’m using Boost.
Say what? Bacon reader still works?!
It does on Android with a personal Reddit API key and ReVanced. There are instructions posted over st r/baconreader.
Came here because of reddit API drama.
Stayed for the memes
Came because of the reddit API. Stayed, because I couldn’t stand reddit users anymore.
In the same boat. I stayed because I can’t stand reddits god awful app showing you shit that your not subscribed to, that’s what r/all is for (miss you Apollo)
Reddit bad.
I got on Reddit because it’s pseudonymous, and the nesting of threads is good. I didn’t appreciate it for a while, but upvote/downvote also provides a useful proxy for what body language does in real life.
To spread the word about the ultimate beverage: WATER
but it’s so dangerous; everyone who drinks it dies. lol
This is just one of Big Soda’s lies. Everyone who had drank water and died, had also breathed air. Oxygen is also toxic, so I think, that conclusion is obvious.
Big water lobby in this thread rn. /s
Haha makes me think about the old HydroHomies subreddit and what it was originally called
Water N-[Redacted]
Lol yup! That’s the one haha
It became large enough to sustain conversation. I hope it becomes large enough to sustain niche communities.
EDIT: also “civility” doesn’t mean “don’t sass the nazis” like it does on reddit.
You’re right, I should go to bed.
Mostly for memes about beans.
Uh but for real because reddit quite literally sold out and went full corpo.
Because I believe in the idea of the Fediverse and I want it to succeed.
Because fuck u/spez
I like having ownership of my internet experience so I run a lemmy instance and my friend administrates it. It is more fun than using a botted network.
do you run it locally?
I started with it locally, but I migrated it to a hosting provider because of their managed services and I’m lazy. I take offsite hourly backups and own the domain so if anything happens I can rebuild it elsewhere.
Which provider? That’s nice to have that freedom
Any tips for getting it running? I’m struggling
I could only get it to work with docker and not using ansible, the instructions are pretty good but if you have a specific question I can try and help. I do IT for a living so I guess I filled in some context maybe https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html
I got it somewhat running but I keep receiving errors from the postgres saying it was shut down. and when i try to login it says toastify is awesome.
