I swear to god, lemm.ee's server has been more reliable for me than reddit's ever was

I miss the good old days when reddit admins still pretended to be part of the community. Anybody remember the "when this post is [x hours old] reddit will go down for [xyz]" posts? Then the admins were in the thread cracking jokes with everyone about the fact that their servers were powered by hamster wheels and they couldn't afford a programmer? Oh how the times have changed...

The admins also liked those days better than current times, I'm sure. It's just a money issue. Reddit wasn't profitable back than (still isn't, I think), so it needed an investor. An investor watch it's money back eventually, so you're gonna have to make changes. Often times those changes suck

On a friday evening/night in the US? lol. Not exactly peak hours. I wonder what stupid shit they pushed to prod.

As a side note, I sideload Apollo for a few niche communities on reddit that don't exist here on Lemmy. But I was having intermittent issues a few hours before reddit actually went dark.

Why not make 'em? That's what I did. Try to get away from Reddit completely by recreating your favorite subs as communities here. I'm really glad I'm on here and hope we can continue to grow this replacement.

Wow, you certainly sunk in more resources than I did! I didn't mean that you should run the community anywhere near that deeply; I meant just to create it so that there could be a home for Lemmy's fans of the topic, who would then carry it on. But yeah, unless you're getting something personal out of it then it's not worth the effort.

Just making the community and hoping a critical mass of users will show up just doesn't work. When it comes to niche hobbies/fandoms/etc, the venn diagram overlap of people interested in that niche and people who are active on Lemmy - which is itself a niche platform - may be as little as one or two users.

True... for now! The upcoming Reddit paywall ushered me here, so I'm hoping it will encourage more people too. Either way, I'm not just not gonna make the community...

Created my account yesterday because of this!

Been meaning to migrate to Lemmy for a while and seemed like the push I needed

I was having trouble with the Stealth app and old.reddit around that time, but "new" reddit was working just fine. Having kinda mixed feelings that it was just a temporary outage and they didn't finally nuke old.reddit.
