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?

Lemmy is still new and I think its UI will catch up with Reddit's. Reddit's UI frankly suciks and will get worse rather than better, though Reddit's might still have some advantages here and there.

Reddit will likely keep having some communities etc. that Lemmy doesn't, so I might re-engage to some extent, though probably just passively.

Reddit will always be less trustworthy than before, even if they keep the API open. Spez getting fired and replaced by Stallman (lol) or similar, would be about the only thing that could help witht hat.

Passively being key...I still want to read /nosleep, but I haven't contributed anything to /nosleepfinder...and I've been reading the books I've bought from authors as of late...finally lol. If anything I'd use both sites - but I'm getting to know Lemmy just fine

Incidentally- when I go to the All page here, posts just keep loading endlessly making it hard to browse...do you (or anyone) know how to stop that? Or is that because I'm in mobile?

Bah, I clicked the wrong icon and deleted my earlier reply by accident, sorry. Regarding the page keeping on loading, yeah, I'm seeing that too, including on desktop. Hopefully they will fix it. This is new software that suddenly got exposed to a ton of user load because of the reddit drama.

Thanks, mostly glad to have the confirmation that it's a "thing" and not just me ha
