We really don’t have disdain for the Americans. Most Americans I’ve met have been great.

Oh wow. After reading the announcement I’m glad they got defederated.

Never heard of Hexbear (kind of new around here). Why were they defederated? I’m actually on Lemmy World.

I see yeah indeed that works! Although it looks like it only shows a subset of all votes.

Yeah agree I am not sure that’s a feature I’d want either tbh if it wasn’t already there. But seems like it is in some form.

Ahhh right so the information is there publicly available just not in the existing clients. Interesting.

I did this. I didn’t initially realize there is such a thing as instances (I thought I was joining Lemmy). Came from Reddit so didn’t expect this. Now I only use my Lemmy.world account, the other one is doing nothing (should probably get around deleting it at some point).

Outright lying about the numbers is very different from just not allowing downvotes though.

Yeah Reddit won but the Reddit users lost. Lost access to awesome apps most of all. I personally think it’s fair for Reddit to charge for API access but it seems hardheaded to charge orders or magnitude more per user than they make on their own platform through advertising. I currently only use Reddit on desktop because I’m not going to use their crappy official app. Indeed I lost out, congrats Spez on your victory. In the meantime I’m on Lemmy more than I used to be and I hardly ever comment on Reddit posts anymore.

Thanks for the tip

Somebody should make an app that uses the anonymous Reddit JSON API to copy the popular Reddit posts and post them over here.

Tried sync and seems pretty good so far. In the absence of RIF.

Joined yesterday coming here from Reddit. My favourite app no longer works (Reddit is fun) and I just can’t get myself to use the official app. Lemmy seems pretty cool so far, only missing a few subs that were not super large on Reddit but are not really viable here due to a small number of users. Hopefully that will change if the number of users keeps growing so fast.
