New poll is up. I'm going to unsticky this thread tomorrow because I'd rather talk about flashlights than Reddit.
flashlight
Portable illumination
Rules:
- Be excellent to each other
- Don't be the reason we need to make more rules

The whole API thing is a non-issue to me personally other than the effect on moderators because I never used the apps. Tried Reddit's app once and found it pretty basic, almost crude, so stayed on the PC Browser side of Reddit.
Is there any plan to port some information over such as popular emitters / buying guides? Also, is it possible to have it quickly accessible in the sidebar (kind of mimicking the ‘About’ section of our Reddit?) it looks like posts can be favourited/saved. I’m still learning the ropes here so apologies if I’m missing it.
This explains the sudden influx of flashlight posts on lemmy's "all" page
OK, I think I've found the instance I'll be using at least for now. Might eventually set one up - if there's an interest in an instance for the community, might open it to people from here who are looking for a Lemmy instance without political baggage.
So far my experience with lemmy isn't that great. Lots of issues with the federation. Posts don't show up even after hours.
That's unfortunate. A lot of servers spun up in a big hurry and onboarded a whole bunch of users. I hope things smooth out over the next week or so.
My own experience has been pretty good so far, including federation. Kbin has been rougher, probably because kbin.social came under DDoS just as the Reddit blackout got underway.
Should be open soon if the sentiment of the subreddit is followed. Seems like mods/a vocal few are the only ones who want it to stay closed.
