A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What made you like Reddit (new/old) before all the problems started emerging? (vlemmy.net)

I was a pretty simple user. I used Boost for Reddit, and I liked the different post views you could save for different Reddit's or multireddits. Probably a few other things I'm not thinking of that I took for granted, too.

I'd like to see Jeroba improved more. Hopefully the "fancy" features from the reddit apps that are shutting down make their way into Jeroba in one form of another.

The blackout is making Lemmy boom now, but I think the real moment of truth will be the end of the month when the API actually closes. That'll be the wake up call for a lot of the power users, some of which are developers, that yes, the apps are gone and they're not coming back. They'll have to find something else to spend their time on. Hopefully they choose Lemmy.

There are a couple of open source Reddit clients that have developers who will, very soon, suddenly have a lot more free time than they had before. We're getting decent Lemmy engagement now, but I think Lemmy usage and Lemmy development are going to skyrocket at the end of the month.
