      So what’s the plan if we return to normal, which seems like it’s going to happen? Personally I’d probably be in favour to return to reddit
      Edit: it’s more important to me that we stick together though. Yall are the reason I’m here.

        I’m staying, even though my curiosity gets the better of me and I go peek occasionally. It’s got a completely different vibe now and it isn’t welcoming like this place is. I like it here.

        I’m sticking around here until after June 30 then I’ll make a decision. Most likely I’ll stay here though.

          the chaotic communication and the lemmy links removal have left a rather bad taste

            Some of the posters are angry, some are confused and the rest are carrying on like everything’s back to normal. It should never have been this way.

          I will stay, and I’d love if more people came over. It may work differently and be a bit buggy, but I can excuse it because it is still being developed and worked out whilst accommodating an influx of users.

            @PeelerSheila @CEOofmyhouse56

            I’m not a regular of r/melbourne but used to lurk a bit. I’m a fairly committed Mastodon user, and testing to see how it works with posting from Mastodon to lemmy. Might find it too spammy, or has other issues, but am heartened to see subreddits making a good go of decamping, potentially permanently.

              I’m kind of interested in mastodon but haven’t expanded on that yet. I used to like the “everything all under one roof” kind of approach of Reddit, but I’ve grown to dislike it immensely. I’m finding that sometimes convenience is actually an inconvenience when it comes to real conversation or fact finding. I guess I’m still working it all out. But I like tinkering around with different modes of communication and learning.

                @PeelerSheila I think that’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you can choose which way you prefer to view / interact, with many separate accounts eg treating lemmy/kbin like it’s Reddit, and Mastodon like it’s Twitter, or having one account to do everything. Or combine some things, but not others. I have several Mastodon accounts but have defaulted to using mainly one, and a Pixelfed account when I want to post public pictures a la Instagram.

                I will probably not continue following this community from this account as it’s quite high traffic, but I wanted it see if it interacted as expected, and so far it’s doing all the things I was hoping it would.

        It was something like:

        1. Mark the sub as private until 1st of July
        2. Make the sub normal and unrestricted
        3. I forget this option, rolling blackouts maybe
        4. More malicious compliance, making it so you can only post about loud bangs, florida posts, etc and marking the sub as nsfw so reddit gets no ad money from it
