New LemmyFediverse boi since the Great Purge; this is seriously happening again, already? Glad I got out when I did. Compared to the old place, experiencing and interacting with Lemmy is like a calming dip in the Great Link (not a Changeling honest)
Well in January I believe they told third party app developers that they weren’t going to charge for the API this year (but that someone was in the works). Then May I believe is when reneged on that? June? I know the charging went into effect on July 1.
In May/June Spez said that old Reddit wasn’t going anywhere. So we can extrapolate ~October for them to announce it’s ending, and then it being killed by the end of the year.
At least we got some better mobile apps now. Hopefully Photon gets replaced as a front page on more instances too. That’d get a lot more people to stay.
Holy shit.
I did not expect the next wave of new users on Lemmy to be happening this soon.
Batten down the hatches mateys. Tharrr be a storm brewin’ ☠️ 🏴☠️💀
Poor Lemmy servers.

Me neither. How long till old.reddit.com goes away? That was supposed to be the next big spike in the Lemmy growth curve.
I can’t believe I read that whole thing. I take that back, I can’t believe Reddit actually thought this was a good idea and put it out into the world.

I’m still using Old Reddit so the second it goes down you’ll definitely be hearing about it, at least from me 😉

Photon is really amazing. I hope it gets the support and attention it deserves
Same
Oh well, can’t wait for the all new people to come here
