Reddit’s average daily traffic fell during blackout, according to third-party data | Engadget

Reply in thread

I mean - it was a ~6% drop...Most of which is probably back by now. The visit duration was a decently significant drop at about 10%, but that will surely return to normal as more subreddits open back up. I doubt reddit is going anywhere, or will even make any substantial changes resulting from the protest.

Overall, I'm unlikely to go back. Not necessarily to hurt reddit or anything, but because fediverse alternatives seem pretty reasonable without ads that will be forced on users now that reddit third party API calls are basically gutted. The infrastructure is here to make something good. Hopefully the turnout will stick around and increase beyond the initial influx of users from the protest. I will say that, of the various "exodus" episodes of reddit's lifetime, this seems more impactful. I think mainly due to the alternatives actually being present. Earlier attempts at exodus fell short because there was simply nothing similar out there.

Can we just parse the whole Reddit and upload it to a separate Lemmy instance

Reply in thread

Honestly, my only use case for reddit currently is as an archive for my questions that likely have answers on reddit. A reddit archive Lemmy instance would allow me to completely stop usage of reddit, easily. I'd imagine there are a lot in the same boat.

Not sure that it's even a feasible option, but it would be welcomed. If anyone has some suggestions to solve this use case I'd be interested to hear it.

[D4] What builds are you guys running currently?

Started with a frost Sorc, got ~75, then rerolled as a Bone Spear Necro hoping for a mure tanky ranged DPS. Works pretty well, I think, though I've become used to doing content above my level so it doesn't feel particularly tanky.

Doing t25 dungeons as level 60. Anyone know what an average curve for difficulty is? Like killing creatures X level above you?
