I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation.

Edit: Wow this blew up!

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can’t believe this made /r/all!

Edit 4: We did it Reddit! Lemmy!

    I didn’t even know there was a fediverse reddit alternative until the blackout, so that’s why I’m here. But if I had known lemmy was a thing before now I would have moved earlier. If the communities here that interest me don’t fizzle out I’ll stay, I would guess a lot of others are in the same boat.

      The amount of communities and engagement are great at the moment. Just need a decent app on the iOS side (I’m aware of mlem). The website is a bit more feature packed so far. Super missing Apollo and I’d pay a large sum in subscription fees, which I hate, if they got it working on Lemmy. Either way I won’t go back to Reddit. Spez is a lying POS.
