Considering how they couldn't keep up the protest going because of threats of removal as moderators, I highly doubt they will achieve anything. People apparently need Reddit and they'll do whatever to have it no matter the cost.
Yeah I don't understand why some subs didn't migrate to a Lemmy instance and then shut the sun down. Like, antiwork and workreform are primed to be a federated community out of billionaires control...
I think we might see more migration after the Reddit apps die on July 1st
I did that. Granted, it was a tiny subreddit for a small game, but I did it.
Also, if you like 2D Metroidvanias with touches of horror and philosophy, I recommend Ghost Song. [email protected]
You can't make a friendly link yet. It's probably the #1 requested feature right now but people are still trying to hammer out the best way to implement it in the repo. People aren't really agreeing how far it should go and trying to keep parity with mastodon is being a sticking point.
R/piracy migrated here
Some subs are definitely doing it, check here: https://sub.rehab/ and here: http://www.quippd.com/writing/2023/06/15/unofficial-subreddit-migration-list-lemmy-kbin-etc.html
Some subs will need more time to organize probably, some will probably stay on reddit, but that's ok, it's users that have to move first and foremost, power users and content creators specifically.
Very easy. Lemmy's UI is terrible. I realize that it's young and volunteer work by two people, but the fact remains that much of it is worse than reddit's native app.
What improvements would you like to see on the UI? The two devs are full time paid through a grant but there are a lot of active devs on the repos now.
If they were bound to a union it could be different, but that'd require people be willing to enter a union contract in return for collective bargaining power.
