Starting last night, about a thousand subreddits have gone private. We do anticipate many of them will come back by Wednesday, as many have said as much. While we knew this was coming, it is a challenge nevertheless and we have our work cut out for us. A number of Snoos have been working around the clock, adapting to infrastructure strains, engaging with communities, and responding to the myriad of issues related to this blackout. Thank you, team.
We have not seen any significant revenue impact so far and we will continue to monitor.
There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.
While the two biggest third-party apps, Apollo and RIF, along with a couple others, have said they plan to shut down at the end of the month, we are still in conversation with some of the others. And as I mentioned in my post last week, we will exempt accessibility-focused apps and so far have agreements with RedReader and Dystopia.
I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations.
Again, we’ll get through it. Thank you to all of you for helping us do so.

All I can say is that for every person voicing their opinion and leaving by making a scene, there are many more of us just silently deleting our comments and posts and just disappearing from reddit. Those are the ones reddit should be concerned about.
Agreed, I’ve just stopped logging in. I’m not even going to bother deleting posts but I’ve moved. There’s no hope I’m gonna start using the official Reddit app.
I do miss a few subreddits but Lemmy has plenty to keep me busy during my toilet breaks.
What are those subreddits? Maybe there should be a “lemmy community wishlist” community for reddfugees to see about getting conversations rolling. I know I have a few
In my case it’s:
motorcycles (general, UK and Ireland subreddits) programmerhumor data is beautiful Data engineering Ebikes Yurop
Some of these might exist. I’m only finding my way at the moment. There are a few others I can’t remember the names of. I’d have to login to check ;-)
That’s what I did. Deleted all of my 8 years or so of posts and left the account there. Won’t delete it yet but not really using it anymore. This fediverse thing is pretty cool.
