Tomorrow, reddit will be shutting off 3rd party app access. If the twitter migration is anything to go by, that means that the wave of new users coming in the next few weeks will be much bigger than the wave we saw earlier this month.

Our lead techy admin @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also recovering from broken bones and surgery, so she will be slower to respond to issues :)

All of that being said, we’re as prepared as we can be. We’re currently running our instance on hardware with excess capacity to spare, but who knows if it will be enough.

So, good luck to all of us, and see you on the other side :)

    I really don’t think that many more people are going to switch at this point. Not even sure why so many people think they’d be fine with everything the last two weeks have held, but the actual date of the API change would be the breaking point.

    • Many simply don’t know about it. I was talking to a friend yesterday. I know he uses Reddit as we share memes and stuff. He said that he had no idea that that was happening. I helped him get onto Lemmy.
