Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit? (self.asklemmy)

I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

Reddit is no longer showing on my computer. Something about /etc/hosts. Can’t imagine how that happened.

I installed a Firefox extension that redirects any reddit.com link to my Lemmy instance.

Edit: added link to the extension.

...Do you have a link to that extension?

Sure! It's this one: https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/

My rules are here (you can save them as a .json file an import in the extension):
