Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!
Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
And jeans!
Don’t forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It’s a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.
it’s a bit messy
From all the users that failed the No Poop Challenge 😔
Nice. ☺️
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
I hope reddit dies
Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?
Oh no! Anyways…
Damn it, you beat me to it.
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.
why do honest communicstion when yould instead make people feel guilty and coerce them into coming back
Look, I hate reddit as much as the next person, but if you don’t realize that page is a joke, you’re too dumb for the internet.
When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!
Another strength of decentralized social media
It’s beautiful. I’ve been here when world was down and the rest of Lemmy runs business as usual.
I wonder if they try to plan server updates around each other for this reason
Think of all the poor bots that can’t repost!
In some faraway data center fan noise has reduced somewhat for the duration.
I’m all for substantial and lulzy schadenfreude, but this is service notification made into a daily mail article, that’s when one starts seeming obsessed with a site one doesn’t use anymore
To be fair, the day they actually kill old.reddit we can expect an influx of new users here, so it’s still good to keep an eye on it
Hang on, I’m 3D printing a tiny violin.
Oh no. The poor repost bots 😔
There are a thousand dozen of us!
Not just the US. Can’t access it from NZ either.
I definitely prefer the vibe of lemmy but there’s still communities I visit on Reddit for reviews and discussions about more niche topics.
What’s “reddit”?

An enshittified Lemmy alternative.
HAHA
