So on iOS I had no issues with the PWA when cloudflare was on.

With android though, I couldn't get the PWA to install - the system refused to recognize that a PWA was available until cloudflare was turned off. (I checked with Lighthouse and the report couldn't run to determine PWA compliance.)

I'm assuming I could install your app regardless of the status of cloudflare usage. So for that along it would have made a big difference.

Just never know when some information would be helpful in a pinch, especially if it's tech or programming related.

But wouldn't directing redditors to the fediverse to get their answers (specifically like "Content moved due to reddit's stance on ... link to this answer is at https://kbin.social/m/...") be better?

Just never know when some information would be helpful in a pinch, especially if it's tech or programming related.

That's exactly why we need to work on rebuilding it in the fediverse. The danger with reddit is that this info would have always been lost no matter what. Because of central control a mod could hide it. A reddit admin could outright delete it. The ceo has edited comments before. Why should we trust that our content will be safe with him?

That's why I'm advocating so hard that for people who delete their content, not to rely on PDS for this - see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/71867/Poll-Power-Delete-Suite-users-are-you-saving-your-content - but to use tools that save their content - https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the . The knowledge base shouldn't be destroyed - but neither should it be under the control of reddit.

Instead of "all the answers are gone because of these stipid protests."

I could it as a win either way. If they're frustrated with reddit, they leave, and engagement goes down.

Very smart! In a way this is good news. It suggests that editing to overwrite is effective - you aren't seeing your old content restored, but the edited version. Agree with the ridiculousness of having to delete again and again.

The newcomers are reproducing what they did on reddit.

Yup. Two words: anime titties.

(Edit: for those who weren't from reddit, r/anime_titties was a running in-joke being the name of world news that specifically avoided a US and European focused POV.)

shreddit does this - both the $15 shreddit.com and the free scripts available from github

shreddit does use the API tho, something to keep in mind.

FYI we are tracking GDPR request timelines: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread

kbin is newer and less polished. But yeah I personally recommend kbin over lemmy for exactly the reasons you posted.

Here's a better one that points to a connection between protest engagement and lower ad revenue : https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/88139/Reddit-traffic-returning-normal-sort-of

One idea is to create your own single user instance rather than signing up at another. I've started working on that, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/92059/Why-we-need-to-move-on-from-kbin-social#entry-comment-393077 (bug in the comments means it just takes you to the front page for now but go to the last page and you'll see my comment).

I asked https://kbin.social/m/FindAKbin/t/104416/A-magazine-to-discuss-and-trade-tips-on-setting-up but it seems there's no magazine yet for folks who want to do this, so I created one, https://kbin.social/m/CreateAKbin and will be posting my updates there soon.

Well.. this is not quite accurate. It seems that people who are on only to shitpost and protest make less ads revenue for reddit, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/112071/Reddit-protest-plunges-user-engagement-site-activity-and-ad-portal

The folks of rblind aren't fooled. That's why they set up their own lemmy instance already and are recommending migrating off the subreddit.
