A 2 day blackout was never going to do anything. I'm a little disappointed that we (r/gunners) aren't extending it indefinitely. But it seemed like there wasn't quite enough popular support for it.
And yeah, that's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Turns out it costs time and money to build a site like reddit. Although honestly, most of the features that I personally miss are from apps like Reddit is fun or RES. Not so much from the main Reddit interface.
It's interesting how c/gunners has turned out to be one of the more active communities I'm a part of in Lemmy, looks like there's been enough of us who jumped ship (or at least tested the waters)
I kind of wish we had made it a 4 day blackout, just so it would encompass the beginning of the transfer window. We'd beat out every other Lemmy community no problem with the Rice memes alone
It should've been indefinite. It's also laughable that people think the Lemmy instance is a power grab, it's merely an alternative. As if people don't like to have an alternative.
Yeah RES is why I stay on old reddit and if it goes I'll seriously consider things simply because it allows me to tag users and keep track of people it's not worth engaging with, or if they're alts, or even just remembering who they are!
Yep. Setting a hard cutoff point of 48h limited the impact quite a bit. I’ve seen other subs go on “read-only” mode indefinitely and I wonder if r/Gunners would even entertain the thought, and should there be a vote for it I honestly doubt it’ll pass…
And yeah, Lemmy itself is just another platform like Reddit was before the little annoyances were added; most of what I liked wasn’t from Reddit but Apollo. Reckon Lemmy would do better once Mlem on iOS is out of beta or there’s a proper App around.
Mlem has promise, but it just needs to have more time and resources behind it.
