I think rexxit is the catalyst to get the platform ready. I don't think rexxit is a one and done thing. It's gonna be more of a constant trickle, and lemmy is in a very good place to absorb more users. I browsed /r/all today, and saw many comments of people saying the frontpage sucks because there's no content. Spez might like to pretend there's no impact to reddit, but there's certainly going to be a big impact at least in the near term.

Just make sure to go back in a day or two to make sure your comments/posts stay deleted. Reddit restored all my posts/comments that I edited using Power Delete Suite is back to its original content.

May be they already realize it, meaning, they saw all the popular communities already created here, and would much rather stay there as mods.

I didn't know api changes means 3rd party apps no longer can show nsfw content. Nobody's going to pay a subscription and not be able to see stuff that they can see on the official app. Looks like reddit is giving all 3rd party app developers a shitty deal whichever way you cut it.

Yeah I wouldn't have ever signed up for lemmy if this api thing hadn't come about. This is my first fediverse experience. I was pissed at reddit, but now I don't care about reddit one way or another. Lemmy has gained enough users to sustain itself even if there is no more mass migration. There is an active community here that will help lemmy grow organically over time.

I don't think anybody can say beehaw is in any way representative of lemmy.ml politics. As far as I can see, it's the farthest thing from lemmy.ml or any other politics on either spectrum. I actually think beehaw is a fine example of how independent different instances can be.

Their posts don't seem to deviate much from their usual posts. Target achieved, I guess?

Is there a reason why they're doing this? Blackout's not even political. They just want to be contrarian to everything.

some sort of a hall of fame where we can post about great 'bees' in beehaw?

Hi, I submitted a post earlier today requesting to create some kids related communities with friendlier names (/c/kidsbeingsilly, /c/kidsbeingsmart, /c/kidsbeingkids, or even just a /c/kids) for kids related posts instead of the reddit versions (/r/kidsarefuckingsmart and /r/kidsarefuckingstupid, which always makes me hesitate when I want to share posts to somebody I know). Is it possible to create one or more of those communities before July 1? I know I can create those on one of the other instances, but I think beehaw is the perfect place for something like that.

 

I like to see kids related stuff, but I always hesitate to show anything I find there to my little daughter because the community is called 'kidsarefuckingstupid'. I know that's a tongue in cheek name, but I would like to see communities like /c/kidsbeingkids , /c/kidsbeingsmart, /c/kidsbeingderps, etc. I'm not a prude, but I would like to be able to share stuff without looking like I hate kids. I can help moderate the community(ies).

Right, but I've seen tons of comments that say "I'll at least use the mobile site instead of your app". If they do this now, then those people will just leave. Plus, blocking mobile site is a dumb move.

Unfortunately he’s now considered a ‘RINO’ so it doesn’t matter.
