Hi @Tamato, this is a good discussion topic, but we’re trying to keep discussion of Reddit to the megathread. Feel free to post this as a top-level comment there.

So much stuff about so many topics in many different communities. Then it all went sour, and I’m now here.

I was a pretty simple user. I used Boost for Reddit, and I liked the different post views you could save for different Reddit’s or multireddits. Probably a few other things I’m not thinking of that I took for granted, too.

I’d like to see Jeroba improved more. Hopefully the “fancy” features from the reddit apps that are shutting down make their way into Jeroba in one form of another.

The blackout is making Lemmy boom now, but I think the real moment of truth will be the end of the month when the API actually closes. That’ll be the wake up call for a lot of the power users, some of which are developers, that yes, the apps are gone and they’re not coming back. They’ll have to find something else to spend their time on. Hopefully they choose Lemmy.

There are a couple of open source Reddit clients that have developers who will, very soon, suddenly have a lot more free time than they had before. We’re getting decent Lemmy engagement now, but I think Lemmy usage and Lemmy development are going to skyrocket at the end of the month.

I mainly like the enormous variety of topics discussed in one place. No need to visit various forums, it’s all just there on Reddit. I hope the whole federation aspect of Lemmy gets a more streamlined feel to replicate this experience.

Because of the various instances of Lemmy it’s inevitable that overlapping communities will exist. It would be cool if you could create multilemmies, for lack of a better name, where multiple communities can be grouped in a single view to combine them.

The Drama🍿 I mean, err, the beautiful communities about everything imaginable!
