I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    I was overwhelmed by the options of instances. Then Reddit is Fun had a pop up message suggesting to go to lemmy.world. I trusted Reddit is Fun so I followed its suggestion.

        Funny how a lot of us originally found Reddit through watermarks on pics on Ebaum’s World. Maybe worth flooding reddit with pics watermarked lemmy.world

          Someone should make a bot that randomly scrapes Reddit main subs to seed articles on here. Just to get more content. I have been doing so manually using old Reddit occasionally.

          That being said, even in the last week I been seeing a great deal of more content. Now would like to see more communities.

      I open today rif accidently and it started to work again. Logged out mind you. Got a weird message with instructions to log back into my Reddit account. Was able to browse Reddit as a guest on the meanwhile. Didn’t want to log back in as fuck Reddit.

      Did rif sell to Reddit? Couldn’t blame him if he did but all the same I am leaving. Just can’t see how rif would still work without Reddit owning his servers. Anyone know what is going on?

        Reddit wasn’t interested in buying any of the 3rd party apps. Since you know, apparently they’re so great at making apps that there were a dozen third party ones that people preferred.

        I don’t know, but it might be that Reddit is only limiting API keys for authenticated sessions. That way the anonymous requests still work up to the free API rate limits.
