Tomorrow, reddit will be shutting off 3rd party app access. If the twitter migration is anything to go by, that means that the wave of new users coming in the next few weeks will be much bigger than the wave we saw earlier this month.

Our lead techy admin @[email protected] is also recovering from broken bones and surgery, so she will be slower to respond to issues :)

All of that being said, we're as prepared as we can be. We're currently running our instance on hardware with excess capacity to spare, but who knows if it will be enough.

So, good luck to all of us, and see you on the other side :)

Hi, I'm one of the RiFugees, using the same name I did on Reddit. This looks like my place on lemmy for now, thanks to all who had the foresight to set it up!

Tomorrow? Nah they cut it off at 7 PM EST today, or at least they did for RiF.

Fuck Spez, Steve Huffman, you are a dickwad.

Apollo and RIF already stopped working, so I’m not sure if the influx of users will increase that much tomorrow.

o7 ready for the wave!!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

First comment on Lemmy! I think that it'll be hard to for people to understand instances at first but hopefully over time the value of chosing how you interact will be clear

I've been here since earlier this month but now that "Boost for Reddit" is down, I'll be here a lot more instead of splitting my time 50/50

Thanks as always to you and @[email protected]!!! Best wishes that she gets better soon!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

blobcat, heart

I'm probably gonna be taking a weekend off just to let the initial wave wash over us. Best wishes to Kaity, I'll see you fine folks on the other side. :)

edit: Yeah, turns out I couldn't stay away :P

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I imagine we only have a few hours left of Boost. Set myself up here today after hearing about this place. Can't wait until there's more apps for it.

With the wefwef.app working as well as RIF, I know that my future bathroom visits will continue to be fun

Where did the twitter refugees migrate to? Mastodon? I haven’t been keeping up on twitter.
