So that's it r/newzealand? (lemmy.nz)

So, I see r/NZ is back. That's it? What an anemic protest. I guess I'm honestly surprised more people don't care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.

Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won't see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.

Most likely it's just an issue with the software or API. Perhaps it hits a rate limit and ignores some requests.

I doubt admins are restoring individual posts that they like. It doesn't seem to make sense.

I'm not too sure. They are forcing subreddits to re-open, and in the past they have edited comments in favor of reddit.

Reddit content is very valuable, when I Google for opinions, I always add "reddit" to the query.

Many people who reported the issue say that their profiles initially showed up as empty, but were restored a couple of hours later.

It would be interesting to have a proper test of this. There are numerous reasons this could happen. The first thing I'd look at is if this has happened in the past or if it's a new issue. People have been clearing their accounts for years, so if people have had this issue before it's a sign of an issue with the process. If not, reddit may be doing something odd.
