Haven't touched reddit since July 1st
It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy...

Boost for Lemmy is coming! Same author as Boost for reddit, I double checked just to be sure, it's the same author! ( media.kbin.social )
Reddit app score changed dramatically ( kbin.social )
Did Google help reddit? A short time ago the score for the reddit app was down around 3.2 as everyone gave it 1 star for how bad it was and all the drama going on. I just opened the play store today and the app has a 4.2. Did Google delete or discount some of those reviews?

Maybe Reddit should’ve done that part first?

Reddit Refugee here venting
I’m in the post-ban blackpilled mode right no so please forgive me. I know reddit is falling apart but it isn’t happening fast enough. Is there any hope that the whole site will be destroyed? I really just want the whole site / app completely destroyed and thew Vichyite mods unable to have their power trips anymore.
Still yet another article listing Reddit alternatives, but surprisingly this one mentions both Lemmy & Kbin ( kbin.social )

On Coining a New Term ( kbin.social )
Edit: alright I'm sticking this up here because a number of people seem confused--this post isn't trying to convince you that "fediverse" is a bad term--rather it's a discussion of why I think "threadiverse" is a good umbrella term, for the forum-based part of the fediverse specifically.

Hello
Hello
does anyone regret deleting their Reddit accounts during the failed protest? ( kbin.social )
just curious if anyone regrets going nuclear...

Reddit has started assigning power mods to subs they took over. ( imgur.com )
Not much else needs to be said tbh. Fuck Spez....

Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time ( www.theverge.com )
Reddit seems to be fully aware what users are likely to do in the current climate. Do they think people who aren’t angry will be louder than everyone else, do they have a plan for protests, or are they just letting the chips fall?
Reddit may be tricking users to buy awards/coins ( kbin.social )
Recently, Reddit announced that they may be discontinuing awards/coins on September 12. However I'm skeptical and I think this may be just a deceptive announcement for them to make a quick buck from awards/coins. What are your opinions on this?
Coincidence that Reddit and Twitter are taking the same approaches to monetization? ( lemmy.ml )
There needs to be a step by step migration guide
It was and still is hard - or at least tedious - for me as a software developer to find out how to use the fediverse and lemmy. I can’t imagine how annoying it must be for a normal user. The one thing I really liked about reddit, is that you can find a well written guide for everything, often pinned at the top of a specific...
Finally got access to Tildes today... Seems unimpressive ( kbin.social )
I got an invite code and so spent a bit of time browsing around because I'd heard good things about it. But I was surprised at how basic and non-diverse it all is. The forums are preset and are very generic. The conversations are definitely better than Reddit, but no better or worse than the ones I've had with people on Fedi....
