So What Now? What's Going On In Reddit?
Now that the two day shutting down of many thousands of subreddits is over, what is happening now? How many are remaining closed? Are others just going back to normal? What is the prospects of any significant change happening now?
I've set my pihole to reject reddit.com and I'm committed to using Lemmy, but I do miss the old Reddit.
You're viewing a single thread.
My old Reddit (of 14+ years), because I used RIF, is gone forever regardless of the Blackout outcome. Not subjecting myself to the Reddit app (the integrity lapses highlighted recently underscore that Reddit will violate my privacy, will sell my data, will treat me like a piece of shit) and am not going back even once to enhance their revenue stream.
They caused this ... they can manage the consequences.
RIF was reddit to me so as it goes, i go. This app I'm using, Jerboa for lemmy, is pretty good
And it will only get better, let's hope. I'm hoping at least one of the third party reddit app devs jumps onto making a lemmy apps, or contribute to Jerboa repo.
For now I still have lot of peeves with Jerboa, but it's very new, turns out. There was Lemur before, but its been abandoned.
I like the layout of Jerboa, but there doesn't seem to be much new content, hopefully that changes soon.
Jerboa does not get everything right yet. Use the regular web interface on a PC to see the difference.
Give Jerboa time to evolve. The early versions of RIF were rough around the edges, too.
