  • Just commented the same lol they seem to be missing complimentary features at the moment. Memmy would be good if I could figure out how to see my subscribed communities and go directly to a community. Not sure if that feature is missing or buried. Mlem was a lot worse a week ago but now the only problem I’m having is I can’t get back to a post I’ve commented on if I get a reply. If that gets fixed, I’ll be happy with Mlem. Both are probably going to be great but I came from Apollo.












  • They haven’t shut down entirely. They’re in this weird restricted state where flairs can respond to old unanswered comments and they have these daily themed discussion threads. But you can’t ask new questions right now.

    The mods seem pretty committed to Reddit and not moving. Their goals aren’t quite in line with the third party app devs and they’ll probably get enough of what they want eventually to come back. They want better mod tools and Reddit will give them a few minor improvements which they’ll call a win and turn back on. They’re not holding out for third party apps to come back or anything like that.

    I find this really disappointing, they should find more meaningful ways to at least spread out from Reddit. They could mirror questions and answers in the fediverse at least which would give them a foothold outside of Reddit when it does eventually implode. But the mods are somewhat hostile towards these kind of ideas. But I don’t have any insight in to their private conversations so I could be off base. They just get kinda snippy with people who suggest anything besides hope Reddit improves.


  • Nothing. I miss being more informed on what’s going on in the world but I don’t miss mindless Reddit discussion about it. I miss a lot of subs though. If AskHistorians goes back to normal, I might pop in for that occasionally.

    This is getting better and better though, I’d rather ride out our awkward phase than get sucked back in to the Reddit cesspool and drift away. Although we really need to stop talking about Reddit so much.
