News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You know, if he could find a way to re-hook Apollo over to one or more Lemmy instances, I think Apollo would immediately become the default Lemmy client for a whole lot of people. What’s more, I expect that a fairly large subset of those people still haven’t even heard about Lemmy yet, and would suddenly be creating new accounts. That would also help to incentivize people to grant his request, and turn down the refund.
Just a thought. I know there would by necessity be an awful lot of work involved to make such a thing happen… but it would probably be worth it.
Numerous people have asked, Christian’s reply is that he’s not looking at it right now. Honestly, his replies sound like he’s going to take a day long nap on the 1st before thinking about anything else.
I kind'a wouldn't blame him if he did that. The level of vitriol aimed at him in the comment sections of various articles that I've read on this topic is positively staggering. People can be really awful sometimes... and people who are seemingly uninformed and/or misinformed, even more so.
There's a work-in-progress effort called tafkars to create a hostable API relay which Reddit apps can talk to to have it relayed onward to the Lemmy API. If completed, it should allow anything that uses the existing Reddit API to talk to Lemmy with a small app modification. It seems like a bit of a stop-gap solution to me but it's a cool idea.
A dual lemmy/kbin app from him would be fantastic.
