This whole debacle will end up being a MBA case study in a few years on how not to work with your user community.

Amen. And he got screwed from the Reddit api fiasco. If i remember correctly he was on the hook for as much as $250k in refunds because he's had to shut the app down and refund subscribers.

The guy has to make a living, so I don't begrudge him that one bit.

The Shire. I'd just live in my Hobbit hole, eat second breakfasts, and take long walks. Peaceful!

On Reddit, I often felt I was whispering in a crowded room. What’s the point of no one is likely to see it, read it, or engage? I think that’s one reason I’m more willing to engage on Lemmy.

Some of the subreddits could be great, but some could also be really mean and unwelcoming. So far it seems much more friendly here, and I hope that's not just the honeymoon period.

Knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross stitch, etc. The work is meditative, and you get in a groove waiting to see what the next row or stitches will look like. Producing an object feels productive, and gives a feeling of accomplishment.

Choose bright colors and fun patterns, and it's a lot of fun. There are patterns for all interests, so don't think this is the realm of only little old ladies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm anxious to see what happens in the next few days and weeks. I think Reddit will bring the big subreddits back online with new mods if they have to. The smaller subreddits, though, may not be worth the effort to Reddit, and those are the ones I'll miss the most. I'm hoping some make their way here, but I suspect many won't.

I'm glad to be here, and I'm looking forward to see what this brings.

I'm an Android user but considering moving to iPhone because I also use a mac. Could you elaborate on the features that you're most excited about?

I can't get the option to decline the refund. Anyone else having trouble? What an I missing?

You should consider making one here. :)

Very appreciative of the work that went in to getting this out so quickly. I have happily subscribed.

Thank you!

Wow, they are only a few days old, aren't they. That's amazing.

So how do you start a new community?

This is what I found on join-Lemmy.org

Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days). Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.

Mlem is pretty good so far. It's basic, and there are issues, but the developer seems to be making frequent updates, and it's functional. I've been providing a little feedback as well, and looking forward to seeing it develop.

I've been following hashtags on Mastodon, and that has worked pretty well for me. Still, it's not the forum layout that I enjoy, but it's still useful.

If I could upvote this a dozen times, I would. Well said.

Let your wife handle it.

Thanks. I can't believe I missed that.
