I appreciate the thorough explanation. But why did they defederate from us?

My brain has also been operating slower than usual recently. Please fix.

Seriously though, keep up the good work! 👍

I'm absolutely on board... but why John Oliver? Why him in particular?

It's quite laggy (understandably) and I'm having trouble navigating myself, finding communities/topics, finding people to interact with etc. Naturally there will be teething problems early on, and different problems will arise as the reddit exodus increases. Still, I think Lemmy has huge potential.

Jerboa is almost unusable for me at the moment. A lot of crashes, pages not loading, messages not sending etc. But I know that's inevitable at times. Restarting my phone seemed to make it worse. But I know you guys are on it! 👍

I've been increasingly frustrated by reddit for years. The API issue was the final straw. I had 3 accounts and deleted all 3 just before the blackout. I left some posts because I didn't know how to nuke it all without doing it manually. But I doubt anyone viewed anything I posted as valuable, so I'm not bothered. I'm just glad to be rid of reddit, to be honest.

Probably a dirty spark plug.

Pretty pointless, then.

Another question: how can I tell which communities I joined are from that instance? I tried to unjoin but I can't see anything that tells me which instance they are.

The birds that visit me daily. Some of them land on me and have a proper conversation with me. Always lifts my mood.

It seems a bit laggy to me, but that's hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! 👍

Out of all the AMAs reddit has done, that was certainly one of them.

I thought you'd gone all spez on us for a second. Sheesh!

"it's a great honor to be here with you today" yadda yadda...

Answer 13 or so questions with a really pissy corporate tone.

Then just vanish without telling anyone the AMA is actually finished. What a guy.

Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.

I never used Boost (I used a "rival" 3rd party app), but I feel bad for people who put the time and effort into building these great apps, just to have to shut them down. Spez really screwed the pooch on this one.

Jerboa crashes constantly for me now, doesn't even let me view anything. JSYK!

I saw that Boost will require personal and financial info, location etc. It turned me off, tbh. At least the other Lemmy apps don't do that.

It was already going the way of Facebook and Twitter for years. I stuck it out because there wasn't any better option. Each time Reddit admins did something stupid and caused chaos, I considered leaving. But the API issue is another level. It's a death blow to anything that's good about the place, and locks in the dystopian future spez and current redditors are choosing.

With just enough vegetables to help you pass it the next day!

Maybe it was u/spez checking out the competition?
