Awesome. The Linux community should be among the vanguard of this whole effort given our philosophy.
Honestly I’ve only been on Lemmy for a few days and I don’t anticipate going back to Reddit. I’ll probably use Reddit for IT help queries periodically but that’s it. I like Lemmy quite a bit more.
even better: post links to your IT help queries on lemmy to reddit.
What’s the Lemmy equivalent? I’m still new and figuring it out here.
It’d be even better if all these subreddits indefinitely go dark. As someone who grew up using the “old” internet with Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists for discussions, I am happy that decentralized way doing things might be adopted again.

I mean… The plan to go dark was originally to protest the API pricing and policy changes. And as far as I understood, they’re all going dark until Reddit backtracks those announcements
Initially at least, the subs I saw were talking of going dark only for a couple of days, with only a few stating that they will go dark indefinitely. If everyone is on board now for indefinite darkness then that’s great!
Maybe I got it wrong then, but at least that’s what I understood initially. I guess we’ll see
That’s ok we have /c/linux now.
It’s happening!
i don’t think i could really care less.
lemmy is just really exciting!!
Good. Also good to see a lot of other subreddits are going dark. Been using Lemmy for just a few hours, and I do not miss Reddit one bit anymore.
Lemmy can be a bit slow, especially with remote communities.
But damn, if Reddit’s only option is the new UI there’s no way I’ll ever use it.
I’ve made the transition from Reddit to Lemmy so much more seamlessly than I did from Twitter to Mastodon. The percentage of Lemmy users that post high quality content & comments is much higher than Reddit, and a forum-based platform doesn’t really need many users to be useful, it just needs users who post content and interact meaningfully with one another.
Just uninstalled the 3rd party Reddit app I have on my phone.
This is great! 😆
Thanks /u/spez!
