Reddit CEO praises Elon Musk’s cost-cutting as protests rock platform (www.nbcnews.com)
Steve Huffman said in an interview that Elon Musk's cost-cutting at Twitter was inspiring and that the two have chatted "a handful of times."
xuxebiko, One option to reduce interaction with spez-ruled reddit is to use https://reddit.adminforge.de.
Eg: to access r/modcoord, use https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/ModCoord
Any other ideas to deny that greedy little fascist pig boy his joy?

spicy_biscuits, Sup y'all, newest arrival from the Reddit exodus here :D
Been lurking for a coupla days to check you guys out and get my bearings, now I'm here and I figured I'd say hi officially 😊
FreeBooteR69, @spicy_biscuits Greetings and salutations!
[CORRECTION] 7742 went dark out of the 8299 that committed. Interesting to note: 204 of the top 250 subreddits are dark (src: save3rdpartyapps.com). (reddark.untone.uk)
As of 12:56pm GMT (7:56am central time), 7742/8299 subreddits are no longer public...
Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely (www.theverge.com)
This will get interesting.
u/Awkwardtheturtle posting an update on her reddit ban (teddit.adminforge.de)
u/Awkwardtheturtle somehow posting an update on her reddit ban ... on reddit itself if i'm reading the pic correctly. Not sure how that's possible, maybe someone saw an edited post from her?
As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal (www.pcmag.com)
User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb....
Trying to help move a few communities off reddit. Confused about Kbin vs Lemmy and some of the migration tools. (kbin.social)
Hello All,...
How it's going (media.kbin.social)
Just started the process of editing all of my Reddit comments (media.kbin.social)
Probably my last screenshot from RIF (lemmy.world)
My Spez comic is currently #3 on /r/funny and hoping the morning US crowd sends it up again. Thanks for all the support, I know this final comic is a bit spicy but here's the full rez if you didn't want to go to reddit to see it. I'm just glad my little Lemmy plug on the bottom is getting some attention. Take care everyone!...
BobQuasit, Infinity going subscription-only!
This morning when I opened Infinity to check Reddit, I saw the announcement above: they're going subscription-only. Ironically enough, I couldn't scroll down to see the rest of the message including prices, if there were any. I also couldn't see if there was a button to close the message or start a paid subscription. I couldn't proceed to Reddit at all. My only option was to close the app completely. So I uninstalled it.
That's it for me using Reddit on mobile! Can't say I'll miss it much. But I added a LOT of content to Reddit that way, so it's their loss. Fuck you, spez!
NekoRogue, I have auto update turned off for apps, so I didn't get the last update for Infinity and I can still use it to see Reddit, for now. Once it dies I'm out though. I can't imagine they will be able to get enough subscriptions to support the app, so I'm not really sure what the goal is here.
The Infinity listing in the Play store links to this post that has a bit more info (warning: Reddit link) https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/147bhsg/the_future_of_infinity/
Even the people subbed to r/Infinity_For_Reddit are saying they won't buy a subscription. Wouldn't Infinity be racking up a huge bill from Reddit once the API change goes into effect? There's no way subscriptions will cover that so I don't understand why they're doing this.
I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else?
Just realized that the other day....
umbraroze, As I recall, Reddit really dragged their heels in implementing GDPR-mandated data checkouts, citing technical challenges and privacy issues, but I'm sure it was more about the technical challenges and laziness (old codebase that has kind of sucked since forever and they're not keen on touching it). This was when the law went into effect in 2018.
I requested archives of my data from Reddit as per GDPR a few weeks ago, and it's still pending. And the page said "oh, uh, we'll provide them within 30 days." ...which is well within the letter of the law, if not the spirit. Other sites I've requested my data from can provide it within days, usually.
All I can say as someone who's been perplexed about Reddit's tech side for a long time is that it's pretty damn emblematic of the whole site.
seacocker, They might not have bothered to implement an automated setup just for EU & UK users, meaning it's an ad-hoc process each time. If they go over the 1 month you can head over to the ICO website and file a report.
Unofficial Subreddit Migration List (Lemmy, Kbin) (www.quippd.com)
A comprehensive mapping of old subreddits to new communities.
Robotoboy, I have a Mastadon, AND a Kbin now. I'm trying to sign up for different Federated services and link 'em all together. I'm loving this new protocol so much. It's quiet...
It feels similar to the early 2000's internet and I'm loving it.
Ghostalmedia, My only problem is how defederation is handled.
For example, last night I submitted a post to memmy@lemmy.ml. My wife then wanted to comment on the post.
She has a Beehaw.org account and I have a lemmy.world account. She couldn’t see my post because beehaw defederated from lemmy.world.
I'd like to encourage people on the fediverse to comment/upvote/post more than when reddit
If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)
(Mildly NSFW) Welp, I guess that's it. The single photo that got my ~10-year-old, 60k+ karma Reddit account "permanently suspended." (media.kbin.social)
Joey for reddit finally seems to have stopped working
Joey for reddit has been working fine up til today for me...
Das wars endgültig auch für mich Reddit (feddit.de) German
Seit gestern Abend funktioniert jetzt Joey auch nicht mehr.
I have an account in lemmy.world and i can log in by jerboa or liftoff but not in laptop. Please help.
When I put log in credentials it shows a pop up saying logged in and that’s it. The account does not login and can’t participate. Posting this from liftoff as logging in from laptop do not work.
Please share your stories/screenshots of being banned from Reddit and/or Subreddits, as well as other social media platforms. (lemmy.world)
If you still have access to your account, screenshots of the last “offending” post or comment would be great. https://lemmy.world/c/banhammered
