"Most" people are going to be annoyed, more than anything. While extremely tech-savvy, my brother isn't an avid Redditor... only ends up there for one or two niche things or when a Google search gets him there. All of a sudden he can't get there and doesn't really understand why. Even reading the various synopsis doesn't make it particularly clear to a newcomer. Once I explained what was going on an answered a few questions he got it, but he's still irritated by the fact that he knows there an answer behind that locked sub that he needs.
Those of us who have arrived thus far are not "most people".
I believe R/datahoarder was working overtime to back up everything. The amount of knowledge stored on reddit on all sorts of topics is very valuable. It's a shame to let it die if Reddit ever goes bankrupt.
Those guys are exactly the kinds of people who should be on the fediverse, honestly. Running a Lemmy instance, even not participating but just letting it accumulate.
I believe there's already a datahoarder community on lemmy. Hopefully more will come.
If homelab and datahoarder come here in full force that's 90% of my reason to go to reddit gone...
I am pretty sure I saw a homelab community on lemmy.ml already, just FYI.
It was a mistake (though natural) to trust Reddit with all that knowledge in the first place.
The last few days I have been learning specific things about my hobby. Of course, when googling questions the answer is on Reddit as the top result. So from am outsiders perspective the blackout was annoying.
