MODERATORS
Ive spent 98% of my time here in Lemmy vs. 2% since last night. I'm not deleting my reddit account just yet, but, overall like what I am seeing here. I'm also just trying to figure everything out here.
There are issues/worries about what happens when an instance goes away, where's that content go? Duplicate/fragmented communities on multiple instances.
I'm more worried about losing the CONTENT that we created on Reddit, etc as a historic/research tool if reddit fails completely. Lot of content with people helping others.
I see/saw a lot of talk about wiping your data before leaving... I'm sure if that happened in larg volumes, they have backups of that content. No idea what legal ramifications there are with restoring them though.
I'm in a wait and see, but w/o RIF I'm gonna be hard pressed to use reddit on my phone, and if old. Goes away that might end it for me.
There are Reddit JSON dumps, I saw one yesterday.
I'm using Jerboa, it looks pretty good IMO when you set the view to "list".
FYI: A shitload of people started helping with the Lemmy codebase on GitHub, it was awesome seeing the community coming together.
