Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says
-
Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.
This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.
Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!
I see more and more people moving to Bluesky, which means Xitter is becoming less and less relevant by the day. Except for nazi shitheads, that is.

Reddit refugee here! Really enjoying Lemmy so far, I hope more and more people start jumping over

In other news, Lemmy will keep all its content open for free, making everything accessible to everyone.
As a sidenote, do tip your instance operators, especially if you're on a small instance. Upkeep isn't free.

A lot of people dont use an app at all, much less third party apps, so the whole thing was lost on them to begin with, if they were even aware of it.

Reddit likely won’t die from one bad change, it’s going to slowly die to attrition as they keep putting shit like this in.
It's been slowly dying from attrition . It might be gaining users, but meaningful interactions and content production is down from 3 years ago.

Yup, and the trend just continues.

I wonder if that's what all the banned subs thing was about. Maybe "some content" = NSFW subs
-
niche communities that don’t exist on lemmy.

i’m guessing older posts, maybe 6+ months.

This is the reason. I can get all the Linux discussion I want on Lemmy, but discussions about an Acura RSX? That community is on reddit.

Yeah... I also miss doom-scrolling unixporn and ergomechkeyboards in here.

I moved here and took a break from Reddit for a year after the whole API thing.
Recently been dipping my toe back in the water, lurking only.
It is noticeable that a lot of posts are obviously bot accounts trying to spur debate on contentious topics. And in general, it’s a sad echo of the community it used to be.
On the other hand, there are some communities there that are still pretty active and interesting just based on the sheer volume of people that still use Reddit. So it still has a place in my life… Kinda.
Only expect to get worse over time, it’s like a slow decline of a friendship

So if the accepted solution is behind a paywall, the question gets asked (and answered) over and over again. It's an insidious way to generate infinite content.

Well I will be no longer on Reddit then. I’m so sick of this fleecing us at every turn
Really? Everything else was fine bit this is a bridge too far?

The site has become utterly useless. I got banned for god knows what, they don’t actually tell you. But just disagreeing with someone else and they report you and you’re auto banned without question.
I tried opening new accounts and every single one would be banned for evasion. I guess they track ip?
In any case the users have become x10 more toxic and the site itself is trash -
niche communities that don’t exist on lemmy.
There are some pretty basic communities that are non existent or dead on Lemmy and I hate it

I’m one. Hello all.

Hi!
For Lemmy usage my preferred approach is always sorting by all and blocking communities (and instances) I don't want to see instead of subscribing to the ones I do want to see. This way you get more content and dont miss new sublemmies!
