Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

I'm a bit sad we didn't have more time. But at the same time, I could see where reddit was going: it was inevitable. Once I saw what new reddit looked like, I knew this day was coming at some point. Doesn't mean I'm not sad about it though. Lots of history and useful information will be lost.

Not really, lemmy feels very similar to reddit, it only needs a little more content.

No. It’s a website run by dumb cunts.

I'm missing it a lot less than I ever missed Twitter…
For the most part, Reddit has sort of filled a void of community groups or random goofy videos/memes for me, as I'm not on either FB/IG or TikTok. On Reddit I could see a post about something going on in my city (Portland), a review of a game I like, a cat floofing out of a tiny vase, and a gorgeous photo of a mountainside all in the span of 30 seconds. It'll be a bummer not to have that experience any more, but I get enough value out of the Fediverse at this point (along with a few Discord servers) I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

yeah i've trolled my redit subs and recreated as many as i can here but there's some there i know that the community will never move - not tech savvy don't understand apis or llms.

so likely i'll be read only for those but its still >90% less than i'm doing today with apollo

It's sad but Reddit has been going downhill for a while now so I've been expecting this day to come soon. This is just the final change that pushed me over the edge after having an account for 14 years. All the big subreddits seem to now be full of spam, arguments, ads disguised as posts. I'll only really miss the smaller niche communities I follow, I'm not sure Lemmy will be able to fill that gap but we'll see.
