    I am principally opposed to what is going on with Reddit. But to be honest, I am much more practically opposed to using it without a third party app. Hence I have only just gotten around to join Lemmy now. If I wasn’t on vacation and had a bunch of time right now, I probably wouldn’t have joined until after the apps stopped working.

    I expect that the practical reality of not being able to use your preferred Reddit app (which is still hours away) is going to be a big motivator compared to everything else leading up to this.

      Which shows you how little reddit invested in their own development for mobile. It’s a huge factor to have a good app that’s intuitive and fun to use

        As long as a few of the niche communities that I care about can hit a critical mass on a lemmy instance somewhere, then I’m happy. Like, photography or endurance sports. I haven’t seen much of those yet, but hopefully we get there soon! Even just a thousand actually-active members is enough!

        Unfortunately I’ll probably still use Reddit for their historical data for a while, but not logged in or posting anymore on principal.

        We’ll see!
