Anyone who didn't see this coming a mile away hasn't been paying attention.

Let's go recommend Lemmy to them!!!

Certainly expected. It was my last social media (apart from Bluesky). I can't endorse this as a trans man. Time to be more active on Lemmy and purge my Reddit account.
-
How'd that work out for tumblr?
-
I saw one thread where lemmy was being recommended and some people were on board with moving over, so that was nice to see.
-
I do it by posting r/lemmy. I figured mods are less likely to delete the comment if it’s a subreddit.
-
People were predicting this a while back as a way that reddit would make themselves more "advertiser-friendly".
I also wonder if there were some legal concerns in those states that now require porn sites to check IDs.
-
It looks like a lot of the subs mentioned in that post are back already. While i completely agree that reddit is a shitstain, this may have been a bug?
-
That is good news for my nsfwlemmy.com alt
-
Hu? you are here? Aren’t you?

It's a very strange coincidence that these are the subreddits that are suddenly experiencing a "bug".
-
More like cover for banning certain subs.
-
Just thinking the same thing. I wonder if this gets reversed or not.
-
Don't be a coward, jerk off on your main and your alt!

Tumblr was already in a bad place and was further cannibalized by instagram (and reddit).
Reddit still has no meaningful alternatives. Yes, we like lemmy. Most people don't and won't. They want corporate social media. Just look at how long it took people to leave twitter. And they only did once BlueSky had open sign ups.

I had it like this in Reddit and my account 90% porn only pretty fast and I missed all the non porn stuff
So starting here on lemmy I decided to go for a split right from beginning on different instances to additionally check each instance’s meta community about downtimes in case of a downtime.

Idk if this distinction works for anyone else, but in my mind places like Reddit or Lemmy aren’t the same thing as “social media” because they maintained the anonymous forum structure. The activity on the site isn’t centered around people and personalities, it’s the content being discussed.
