RemindMe! 2 days
..oh wait..
And if anyone is wondering, this Lemmy instance is not running on a Raspberry ;)
Why am I not surprised? Pirates tend to be at the forefront of these kinds of things :)
The attitude he seems to have bothers me so much.
"[this blowup] will pass" He doesn't even seem to take this whole thing seriously. "Give it two weeks, those suckers will have forgotten all about this". It's insulting.
"~~hanz~~ spez, are we the baddies?"
Fair enough. I'm just going to enjoy while it lasts (hopefully forever)
I'm a bit sad (mostly for the reasons you already described), but it's also new and exiting. Interestingly, I'm having more fun here than I've had on Reddit in years. Not only was it cool to set up my own instance, I also notice I'm contributing far more then I ever did on Reddit. Maybe it's because the communities are a bit smaller, so there's a better chance of someone actually reading your comment.
I would expect Lemmy to show up equally in the search results if there is enough relevant content. My tiny tiny instance is already showing up in search results, crawlers can definitely find stuff on here. It would be great if at some point we can append "lemmy" to search queries to get the good stuff like we could with Reddit.
“There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well,” the memo reads. “We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.”
In other words, the blackout is not being taken that seriously. The culling of 3rd party apps is still happening. I hope more subreddits decide to go dark indefinitely, and that Redditors keep migrating to Lemmy.
It also gives me timeouts and internal server errors from time to time. It was just migrated to another server, that might have something to do with it.
I'd send them a link to the instance I'm hosting lol. If I weren't, I'd probably join-lemmy.org with the explanation that any instance showcased there is probably good enough.
