Looks like Apollo is now dead boys and girls. Feels like having a loved one die

    So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.

    I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.

      I feel like Lemmy will only grow from here.

      So many old subs have popped up and become properly active.

        I find that a lot of Lemmy people are positing a vision that won’t exist, which is that there’s going to be a great migration to Lemmy. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

        But the key is that you don’t need the hundreds of millions that Reddit has. You can argue that you don’t even want it.

        What I want is a return to the 2000-era bulletin board-type numbers where each community would have on the order of a few hundred or thousand active participants.

      There’s so much community knowledge on reddit, it’s kinda painful to see everyone deleting all their historical comments and posts.

      I get it, but still that’s information presumably lost forever.

        What is information archival on the Fediverse like? Is there any advantage to Reddit?

        Also if I understand last discussions, it’s not clear how well the Fediverse currently behaves with Google searches.
