minus-squaredogmuffins@lemmy.mltoOpen Source@lemmy.ml•Asking third-party reddit app devs to consider Lemmy after recent Reddit API changes.linkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThe reluctance of redditors to move to lemmy always amazes me. Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of posts in a lot of subs about the recently announced changes. In every post the same pattern is repeated ad-nauseum: “i hate reddit, it sucks here, I’ve always wanted to leave, I’m never coming back once this happens” “maybe we should move the sub to lemmy so we won’t have this problem in future?” “but what about all our data, the wiki & post history and such” “but there’s no users on lemmy” “but that would split the community!” This is the case even in the subs I would have thought would be really keen to jump ship, like /r/selfhosted I think this type of approach is the right idea though, a better ecosystem can only be good. linkfedilink
