Displeased with the changes Reddit is going to make to the API from July 1st 2023 onwards, we decided to create a new community here on Lemmy. We won’t close down the Subreddit, however as most of us are mainly browsing and moderating Reddit from 3rd party apps, we will spend significantly less time over there.
While we are not entirely conviced that Lemmy can be a proper replacement for Reddit, we are willing to give it a try as it’s currently the most promising alternative.

No traction here yet I see :(
I don’t think most Reddit users care about how Reddit is continuing to get worse and worse
I dont think so, like I stated in the post on the subreddit, they probably won’t even notice the change unless they use third party apps or a new game gets announced (which will result in more spam in the subreddit)
I am not sure if longterm reddit will be hurt at all because its userbase is fucking huge. No idea if Lemmy will ever be able to compete with that.
