I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.

    I really enjoy the idea of open source, so earlier today I started thinking isn’t that the direction the reddit community should take? Couple of minutes and a search later i found Lemmy and thought it was the coolest concept ever. I may not be most reddit users, but the actions reddit have taken certainly got me here. Lack of apps on ios may be problematic as i don’t think most users will think of using web apps (or whatever they’re called)

      Same here. I may still visit Reddit from time to time, but after getting things going here a few days ago I was reminded what a breath of fresh air an effectively ad-free community can be. Also looking forward to multiple iOS app options in the future.
