Nah. Absolutely fuck Reddit. I paid for RiF, I'm happy with my contribution. Used it for 12 years. Sadly removed it from my home screen this morning when I saw it was over.
I absolutely refuse to provide reddit traffic, even if it does now show content. If the reason it's showing content is really due to reddit backpedalling, then fuck them, because they're ONLY doing it now that it's affected them. A little late for that.
I'll return to reddit only if they reverse this API shit, and if spez gets the boot. Until then, I'm done.
I'm curious why you would go back? I'm totally happy on Lemmy. There are some growing pains but it'll get better and I think there's already plenty of content. Lemmy doesn't need as many users as Reddit, it just needs to hit a critical mass to have enough content to keep you busy and I feel like it's already pretty much there.
Lemmy today and Lemmy a week ago are night and day! Content has already reached 2014 reddit levels of activity. Besides the different UI, I wouldn't know I left.
Lemmy on 12 June was extremely sparse. Highest upvoted posts maybe had 50 votes and "active" and "hot" showed posts from up to 7 days prior. Now it's so much better with the amount of activity.
