How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though?
Users were outraged, but Reddit mostly won.
How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

I'm here now and not there. So I guess it at least did a little something 🙋♂️
Here and not there too. I saw my last post when Apollo got cut off.
It was difficult to figure out how this works at first and wait for the Memmy TestFlight, but now I’m happy.
I haven’t used liftoff but Memmy is also quite nice!
Liftoff is on android and Memmy is on IOS
Liftoff is Flutter and thus runs on everything.
Yep, happily testing out Liftoff on iOS. I still find myself using Memmy more often but it’s close. Pretty nice to have a bunch of options to explore developing at such a high rate.
Ahh, makes sense!
Both are on test flight (beta prerelease) for iOS. I can’t log in on Liftoff, so memmy is my current go-to.
I have been using Memmy too. It has been excellent.
Just started lemmy and Memmy today. It’s been a great experience so far. The learning curve isn’t nearly as large as has been reported
A big part of that smooth experience is all the progress that’s been made in the past month, on both Lemmy and Memmy.
The Memmy app only started out as a beta in TestFlight ~4 weeks ago, and was limited to 10k users. The developer has made a truly inhuman amount of progress in that time - he was (and still is) pushing updates more than once a day. It’s only been in the regular App Store for a few days now.
Additionally, the largest Lemmy instance (lemmy.world) was having stability issues with the massive influx of users. But just a few days ago they figured out what was causing the problems, and the latest version of Lemmy has those fixes.
Wow, when you put it like that, it really highlights how much work got put into this because the experience, especially for a brand new app, is very reminiscent of Apollo. They’ve done a great job so far. Obviously not near where Apollo was, but that was over 9 years of development. Memmy looking great* so far
So far the issue that I’ve been having with Memmy is that dictation doesn’t work properly: it will delete a dictated comment when you stop/finish dictation.  There’s a lot to like about it but until that’s fixed I’ll be using Mlem. 
Agreed, liftoff has been super smooth so far
I have been using liftoff also but it is very difficult to find new communities not on your instance or on lemmy.world through the app I couldn't figure it out at first glance so I add them through a web browser and then can access them on the app
I've been adding and blocking communities through the browser since I joined. None of the apps currently seem to be able to add or block communities from other instances flawlessly just yet. I am enjoying watching this whole work in progress that is Lemmy though.
Yeah it does seem the apps are currently limited in that regard, hopefully development pace will continue and we'll be up to a point where we can do that in the next few weeks.
Once the apps are in a good state we can see how viable this will be long term.
That's what I am having to do too and thought I was just missing something, but that makes sense since everything is in flux and that might not be the greatest priority since the exodus is ongoing and stability/keeping up with updates is way more important.
My dude, it's ok to shill Lemmy/Fediverse. I've been doing it to people I know IRL that use R3dd!t.
I have stuff all idea how half of this works and how I'm doing it, I saw a post recommending liftoff and it's been easy enough to blunder through. I've tried using the mobile web interface for Reddit and it's like pulling teeth.
I checked it a few times on a web browser but only a handful. Pretty much done after apollo was killed while I was browsing. It was weird watching the app die in real time
Same here. The day boost went down I moved here. And so far, even though I miss some communities, the overall quality of the posts is much higher. I can't wait for boost lemmy app to come out.
Replace Boost with BaconReader, and that was me except I saw rumblings of it before the API change and went ahead and made the move because fuck unfettered capitalism. Even if this doesn't last, we tried and made a stand and can enjoy the results while it lasts.
Here and unfortunately there too. Because movie and tv series discussions don't exist yet in here so i have to use reddit for that. But now i only use it for like 20 Minutes a day instead of 1-2 hours + now i block ads. So yeah it did something
You might want to have a look at !moviesandtv@lemmy.film https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !moviesandtv@lemmy.film
That's just movie news. What i want is discussions. You know like there are subreddits like r/blackmirror and they post a 'black mirror Season 6 ep 1 discussion.' and everyone post there opinions after watching it
There's this then: https://lemmy.world/c/blackmirror
A thread per episode
Not much comments there, but that's fine.
But I'll have to wait a bit till fully depending on lemmy. For example now I'm watching Euphoria and there isn't a lemmy community for that. Despite it being a popular series
It will come I guess, hopefully sooner than later. Have a good day!

I’ll discuss Sopranos with you everyday if you want
Fugedaboudit!
Gabbagoooooooooo
Do you really need to? I could understand for like mental health or financial advice, but I don't think like entertainment is that essential to keep using and participating on reddit. Which is the worst since participating is content creation that increases engagement from other users who then respond to the comment.
Anyways I recommend a reddit front end if you must like libreddit or teddit. And Stealth for Android which is an app that lets you use a teddit front end. No account and use of front ends for less data for Reddit to collect is the ideal way to go if lurking must be done.
I do really need sometimes. You know some movies/episodes hit so hard that impossible to not talk to others about it, but i have nobody irl that watch that type of stuff so i have to talk with internet strangers.
Also yeah for mental health too.
I miss imdb and rotten tomatoes having forums. It used to be nice when there were many different avenues for discussion wherever you went online.
I did a search for tv and movie forum so came across this place
https://www.avforums.com/forums/tv-show-forum.55/
So there are places to discuss out there. Just have to break the habit of the one stop shop we got used to which has proved to be very problematic with how it has led to growth of companies like Facebook going from a social media company until it becomes so entrenched and hard to quit their influence started expanding beyond the startup that began without ads and treated users well, and stated gobbling up competitors and getting into new sectors.
It all just seems like a simple social media, but it's scary how that can quickly turn and next thing you know it's another billion dollar corporation. Who knows how the growth people like us contributed to reddit will turn out. Might be we created another future Facebook type entity.
I still circle back because there's still just way more discussion on Reddit. I'm still using RiF though, so I can't post or vote
Here and not there too. I saw my last post when Apollo got cut off.
It was difficult to figure out how this works at first and wait for the Memmy TestFlight, but now I’m happy.
Still looking for a RIF lemmy clone for android. Started with jeroba, on connect now. But nothing like rif yet.
It's not perfect but I'm quite happy with wefwef.app
Thanks, will try it.
