Reddit's meltdown

To make a long story short... Reddit's doing a DEEPLY UNPOPULAR API change that effectively wipes out 3rd party tools and clients, which sparked site-wide protests. Reddit's CEO is now having a pretty public meltdown and threatening moderators partaking in said protests. Lemmy popped up in a good number of discussions on Reddit in regards to the situation. Queue the start of a mass-exodus of Reddit users and mods to Lemmy

I noticed it too. As a new (Less than a few hours old as of this comment) user, this is a hell of an introduction to the Fediverse for me.

As of now I have an account on lemmy.world and kbin.social

We did it Lemmy.world!

I am a new user. I have NO idea on what I'm doing

I literally JUST made this account minutes ago. Figured I would start migrating to the Fediverse.

As someone from /r/ffxiv, I stumpled upon this place on my own

I have a similar thing going. Have 3 accounts, one on lemmy.world, one on kbin.social, and one on beehaw.org.

My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.

Been "Semi" active on here since the Reddit black out.

I honestly don't know, but if I had to hazard a guess, it would be being able to interact with the Beehaw crowd.

Good god...

I am proud to be part of this new frontier

As I am still VERY new to this Fediverse stuff, I honestly don't know.

This must be why I am unable to fully register/login to sh.itjust.works today...

As far as I'm aware, only lemmy.world and some other instance I forgot the name of got defederated by them.

Video games. Been slogging my way through college to learn programming so I can some day become an independent game developer.
