Maybe, it's super weird to me, also noticed there are way more downvotes on the pro-blackout posts than you'd normally see. Check it out.

Conspiracy time: I think reddit staff are messing with the votes. People wrote paragraphs of text within minutes of the sub reopening voicing their support for Reddit's API change, saying the blackout had no impact etc, and those are getting heavily upvoted. The majority of the usual one line responses are in support of the blackout and are all getting downvoted.
Most were well in favour of the blackout before so that would be a serious shift in tone from the subscribers.
You may be confusing pull requests with feature requests. A pull request is when somebody has written some code/functionality/fixes and is asking the maintainers of the project to include (pull) said code in the main branch of the project’s repository for everyone to be able to use.
i.e. if you want a new feature, you make it or convince someone to make it for you
Completely misses the point that the moderators rely on these third party tools to moderate for free and that reddit will turn into a cesspool of spam without them.
I think it's the smaller subs that are doing the work tbh. I don't really care that I'm missing out on /r/videos or any of the big generic subs but the small niche communities that formed around my hobbies are hard to see go. I have a buddy who's pissed his local team's sub is down too.
Keep up the good fight, small subs are just as important!
waveform.social is handling a lot of music-making topics. I think this is better than simply being region based. I understand the need for communities of different languages but I don’t really understand the need for ones specific to different english-speaking regions. Instances based on similar interests makes the most sense to me.
Samesies! It's great seeing so many people here! Lemmy is great but the main thing lacking was users
That's good to hear, I've got very little idea of how the fediverse works nor how moderation works on these types of sites so thanks for clarifying. I had a look to see if c/the_donald existed and although it seems to, I could see the following:
Make America Great Again removed by mod
No Posts.
Does that mean the community has been removed by a mod then or something else?
In-case you didn't know, tapping the top right corner where the battery indicator is will take you to the top
