I don’t see Old Reddit lasting long. They’ve cut beloved features before, and they’re still calling New Reddit a “beta feature”. After they’ve pumped enough resources into developing it, I’m sure they’ll move past the “test” phase and just cut Old Reddit out entirely. That’s probably going to be Lemmy’s next big user surge.

Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy? I remember for a while this past June 2023 there were a lot of auto-deletions for mentioning or linking to Lemmy. I was never clear on who was deleting things and where. I guess linking to the r/Lemmy subreddit (or a fediverse sub) could work as long as the subreddit doesn’t get banned.

    I use Connect for Lemmy on my phone I switched from RIF.

    I still use old.reddit on my PC though. If old.reddit shuts down I guess I will switch to Lemmy on PC.

      Using boost after RIF went over to that authoritarian hell hole tildes…only time I’m on Reddit is using old.reddit as well. New reddit is just cancer.
