Considering how they couldn’t keep up the protest going because of threats of removal as moderators, I highly doubt they will achieve anything. People apparently need Reddit and they’ll do whatever to have it no matter the cost.
Yeah I don’t understand why some subs didn’t migrate to a Lemmy instance and then shut the sun down. Like, antiwork and workreform are primed to be a federated community out of billionaires control…
I think we might see more migration after the Reddit apps die on July 1st
I did that. Granted, it was a tiny subreddit for a small game, but I did it.
Also, if you like 2D Metroidvanias with touches of horror and philosophy, I recommend Ghost Song. https://lemmy.world/c/ghostsong edit: how the heck do you make a lemmy-style community link, like how you could do /r/ghostsong?
You can’t make a friendly link yet. It’s probably the #1 requested feature right now but people are still trying to hammer out the best way to implement it in the repo. People aren’t really agreeing how far it should go and trying to keep parity with mastodon is being a sticking point.
Some subs will need more time to organize probably, some will probably stay on reddit, but that’s ok, it’s users that have to move first and foremost, power users and content creators specifically.
Very easy. Lemmy’s UI is terrible. I realize that it’s young and volunteer work by two people, but the fact remains that much of it is worse than reddit’s native app.
What improvements would you like to see on the UI? The two devs are full time paid through a grant but there are a lot of active devs on the repos now.
If they were bound to a union it could be different, but that’d require people be willing to enter a union contract in return for collective bargaining power.
There’s a whole herd of elephants in this particular room:
mods do what they do for ego. Sure there’s a few isolated exceptions in niche communities but in general they’re fief lords. As we’ve seen recently they will do anything to retain control of their fiefdoms, including backing down at the first glint of steel from their overlords.
mods are easily replaceable by the army of 15 year olds waiting in line behind them eager for their own chance at being lord of the fief. Many current mods may actually have some skill and experience but that’s not essential. Think about your lawn mower guy - he’s been doing it for 100 years and does a fantastic job, but if he retired and his 15 year old son made a mess or your lawn, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
unionising only works when you can’t legally just fire all the unionists, which is not the case here.

R/piracy migrated here
Some subs are definitely doing it, check here: https://sub.rehab/ and here: http://www.quippd.com/writing/2023/06/15/unofficial-subreddit-migration-list-lemmy-kbin-etc.html
