For me, LJ Dawson, the Dev of Sync for Reddit posted that he is making a Lemmy app. I was planning on leaving Reddit at the end of June, so I signed up! I'm extremely happy to be here!

Edited: messed up posting the Dev's name. Thanks @DTFpanda@lemmy.world

I'm attempting to move on from Reddit. Heard good things about Lemmy. I'm checking things out.

Wanted to ditch Reddit following all the nonsense around their API changes, but still wanted Reddit-esque news aggregation + discussions from somewhere.

Googling for alternatives initially led me to Beehaw, but they don't have the sufficiently granular niche communities I wanted. Searching for communities I wanted to subscribe to led me here, and after refreshing myself on how the fediverse worked I realised I should just create a login here instead. So far, so good!

Reddit crashing and burning

Hopefully they're all a real people and not bots or something.

Surely some are people, there's still developments at reddit that would cause further exodus. Though it is a huge jump.

Remember this is CEO proof as long the servers can maintain, donate to your homebase server if you can.

They found put we had snacks. Specifically Bugles. Reddit didn't have any! not even enough for one hand :/

I finally decided to make an account after a week of ignoring Reddit, what is going on over there is ridiculous at this point, Reddit should have just given 3rd party apps an exception and called it a day.

Wow, holy shit. Servers must be getting slammed with requests. Good thing there's lots of instances to spread the burden.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

This has to have something to do with the newly discovered API exploit to rapidly create accounts without any limits, right? Instances without captcha or email verification are vulnerable still, AFAIK.

[–] ObligatoryOption@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's snowballing. A few friends tell a few friends, and so on, and so on, and so on...

As subreddits continue to protest… the lemmy FOMO is becoming real….
