Just checking the vibe. I see that this community doesn't have much activity, but maybe people are interested in migrating here amidst the reddit controversy.

This is my ~/

I can't even remember if I subscribed to r/archlinux over there, I've eradicated my account now so it doesn't really matter. The important bits are (1) I'm an Arch user, amd64 and arm7hf mainly. (2) I'm subbed to this community. May it live long and prosper!

[–] Agility0971@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I migrated fully from reddit. Deleted my comments and account. This will be my replacement for r/archlinux

[–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely!

Yeah, I'm here for the foreseeable future.. my rif app is gone, and I don't think I'll reinstallinstall it, just like when twitter became fedilab (I'm on linuxrocks.online over there), rif is now jerboa. And I'm going deeper into the fediverse.

And I'll admit... Since I joined both apps have been growing on me quite fast

yep! the only thing i used reddit for (other than funny pictures, which we could all realistically do without) was tech support and discussing linux-related topics. And it seems, at least for now, the userbase swings pretty heavily towards tech savvy people so I'm sure this place will be great :)

I am really tired of Reddit. Unfortunately, Reddit's user don't care about the API decisions. Screw Reddit.

[–] headlesscyborg@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely, ditched my Reddit account. I was already unhappy with Reddit for some time, so while others are mad about the API changes, for me it's the best that could happen because it made me discover Lemmy.

Im sticking with the fediverse.

[–] Tireseas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm down for seeing where this trip takes us. If nothing else it's an opportunity to meet new folks.

[–] M_Reimer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'll give Lemmy a try, now and currently this seems to be the "to go" community for Arch Linux. So I'll be around here for a while.

[–] fabiscafe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's just that .ml is down currently. So a bit hard to tell how this keeps working. Buuut nice to see you.

It's going to take a little time and maturing of the software but I think the fediverse had a bright future.

Yep! I'm going to hand my subreddits over to others in their respective communities, and possibly delete my account after that.

I have high hopes for Lemmy.

I also deleted RedReader (Reddit APP) and just subscribed to a few groups here in the Fediverse

I started using Lemmy last week and for a couple days it was slow (in terms of activity). But especially after Monday, activity is REALLY starting to pick up. I have high hopes for Lemmy and hope not to go back to Reddit.
