Happy to see the community adapting to Lemmy, lets make this community (sub?) thrive during the blackout!

Anyway, Rice? Always rated him.

I’m on the iOS app

I’m going to be honest, the whole blackout seemed pretty ineffective.

Also lmao at people complaining about the UI of Lemmy - did they fully expect a finished polished website to just be ready for us to migrate to?

This needs to be added to the sidebar @I_am_the_grass

Watching this place grow everyday is amazing, better than reading the same rehashed news from Fabricio everyday - much less amazing

im sure once the shitposters come over this place will blow up, but of course the level of moderation here needs to be more active as well

and no worries about that mate, ive been creating the DD threads because it seemed noone else was doing it

I’m an unpaid forum janitor? Nice!

only just logged in and saw the thread from yesterday, so sweet of @I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world <3

You’re deffo a shout for it, a day one user if I remember correctly.

Also I remember you were saying something about developing bots once you’ve got the time!

Today’s the last day for most third-party Reddit apps before they shut down indefinitely. I’ve been on Apollo from its inception and alien blue before that. Countless F5s, comments, “war chests”, ups, and downs during that time.

These apps and r/Gunners are the reasons why I became a “Redditor” in the first place. I really hate what’s going on with the platform now, how greed is seemingly at the forefront of any decision. How the app is becoming less and less about the users and their contents but more and more about squeezing said users out of every quid (avatars, coins/gold, ads, etc).

I know it’s going to be hard to stop getting on Reddit since it’s become such an ingrained part of my daily routine (would literally just whip out my phone and refresh the sub every so often daily) but I’ve decided after today I’ll start to wean myself off it.

The plan going forward is to just check the sub on my PC/Laptop and at least try to use Lemmy as a mobile replacement. I know that’s going to be hard initially as the community here, whilst comfy and nice; is still only a tiny fraction of the sub hence an understandably lower level of activity comparatively. It’s silly season after all, aren’t we all anticipating the latest updates even if they’re just what we know but worded slightly differently, as infuriating as it may be?

I’m very happy to see that we’ve carved out a space for ourselves here, and how it isn’t just dead after like a week. Let’s try to make this place as active as we can! Post whatever you deem to be interest and we can all shit on/praise it in the comments together. On the sub I’ve always been a commenter but I’m trying to make an effort and post any tweets/updates from notable sources here to keep activity levels up. I’m very glad to see some familiar names becoming regulars already, which is nice! Makes this place feel more and more like a true r/Gunners alternative.

Anyway, guess I’m done here with my little ramble. It’s been a weird week… 🦀🦀🦀
