I just checked reddark over 8400 subreddits are down, pretty much all of the big ones are closed down, that's crazy! I only had one reddit brain fart today and caught myself before, so I have no idea how things are there, but I do miss all the nature, castles and sculptures pictures from the stuff I followed.

MODERATORS
Thinking about sticking to Lemmy for most things and using my Reddit alt account just as a porn aggregator. Who's with me?!
Lemmy.ml is down. My main account is there, which is the one I use to moderate everything. I will try to migrate my account from one instance to another because lemmy.ml is not stable

I wish we as a species would just drop this trend of having to eventually ruin a good thing just about every goddam time.

I feel fine switching. I'll miss the deep history of reddit, but apparently the official app sucks for that too (afaik), so no great loss anyways. The community seems small but great here.

manifesting christian decides to rewrite apollo for lemmy 🙏
half kidding of course, i think he said he wasn’t interested in reddit alternatives anyways, but i do miss it
He actually addressed it in the Verge article linked in this thread. He's afraid of Lemmy or Kbin dying off and having to deal with the emotional toll of the app dying all over again. As a developer, I totally get that concern. He has put so much of his time into Apollo just to see it die, I wouldn't want to risk that again.

A word on reddit, blackouts, & effective protesting: https://piped.video/watch?v=U06rCBIKM5M
wish some reddit mods participating in the blackout watched it.
Mod of small (~26,000 users) sub. We'll be staying dark indefinitely. Talking to my other mods for other subs and recommending they do the same. We're tiny but hopefully it sends a message to our users.
As a user of a shut-down (maybe temporarily) community in Reddit, the fact that it was shut down and has a decently active (migrating) community here is the very reason i have a Lemmy account.
Shutting down on Reddit is a valid working strategy to send a message, so you made the right choice
