I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual.

I knew we were a minority, but I didn’t expect this level of apathy. It feels like Spez was 100% right and this did in fact blow over. What’s your take on it it? I didn’t expect Reddit to immediately be a failure, but man I guess I expected a bigger impact than that.

    I’m kind of torn on this. On one hand, yes reddit sucks, but on the other hand it’s an extremely search friendly source of information. Does Lemmy even play nice with search engines? The one good thing I can say about a centralized community like reddit is everything is there and easily accessible. Whenever I search for something I need a quick informed answer on I already prefix it with “Reddit.”

      It’s a good search target for what has happened up to 12 Jun 23… after that? I can go incognito to reddit, get what I need then come back to here and continue using this as a resource and share what I’ve got.
