I am 99% lurker and I joined a few weeks ago. I've been patiently waiting to see what happens with the amount and type of content after an assumed bump in activity when 3rd party apps go dark.

I was an Alien Blue user for years before Reddit purchased it, then I was using Sync (and will be again soon with Sync for Lemmy). Reddit is essentially dead to me without 3rd party apps.

I've seen people that use third party apps and had no idea about them going away. Let's see if it effects Reddit in any meaningful way.

[-] hayander@lemmyngton.au 1 points 1 year ago

I sort of hope it does. But also don't think it will in any meaningful way

We'll be celebrating a lot of cake days on next year's June and July

This absolutely feels like republicans setting themselves up for the "red wave" in 2020 that never materialized.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

And just like then, I will expect the worst and still be pleasantly surprised if the best somehow materializes

[-] animist@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah I feel like anybody who was gonna come to lemmy already did

[-] Undearius@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

While I want to agree with this, there have been a number of people saying they will stop using Reddit when the changes come into force on July 1.

[-] animist@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah people say stuff like that all the time. If they were really going to leave they'd have done it already

I heard that less than 10% of redditors use 3rd party apps. After tomorrow, I doubt that the whole 10% moves here. Maybe 5% if we are lucky (on unlucky if you are an instance owner).

What really matters is how well the mods can manage the site without their 3rd party tools. Without them, moderation will suffer.

Nope, I totally missed the boat on this one. Just found refuge this morning.

I just got notification from bacon reader that I can't use it anymore after almost 10 years. It was how I used reddit. I reckon a lot of folks will be getting that same announcement tomorrow, loads of iphone users especially. So I just deleted my account today. Reckon other people will do the same

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There will probably be another wave. Simply for the fact that moderation bots are going to stop functioning tomorrow and Spam is just going to go through the roof. It all depends on how fast Reddit can get a handle on that situation.

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the moderation tools losing API access. The big subreddits don't have the staff to manually fight all of that, especially with at least some of the senior/dedicated mods losing at least some interest in keeping things afloat. Pro bono work was already rough enough with tools to help. Remove those tools and it's going to put a lot of people off moderating in a serious manner.

[-] Nythos@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Unpaid staff at that

At what point do they just decide fuck it and stop trying to fight against all the spam and irrelevant posts because they simply just don’t have the means to anymore
