To make a long story short... Reddit's doing a DEEPLY UNPOPULAR API change that effectively wipes out 3rd party tools and clients, which sparked site-wide protests.

Reddit's meltdown

As far as I'm aware, only lemmy.world and some other instance I forgot the name of got defederated by them.
I am proud to be part of this new frontier
I honestly don't know, but if I had to hazard a guess, it would be being able to interact with the Beehaw crowd.
My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.
As someone from /r/ffxiv, I stumpled upon this place on my own
As of now I have an account on lemmy.world and kbin.social
I noticed it too. As a new (Less than a few hours old as of this comment) user, this is a hell of an introduction to the Fediverse for me.
I am a new user. I have NO idea on what I'm doing
I literally JUST made this account minutes ago. Figured I would start migrating to the Fediverse.
Been "Semi" active on here since the Reddit black out.
