Not sure how that will affect libreddit or teddit. That’d would prevent me to get some news on specific channels, which when interesting enough, I brought to lemmy, :)
Reddit Wants to Get Paid for Helping to Teach Big A.I. Systems

Might be the beginning of the end for Reddit and might have similar effects for Lemmy as it had for Mastodon.
Initially I my response was “big whoop” I just realized that I pretty much only use reddit through RIF. I won’t pay a subscription, so guess I’ll mostly be done with reddit.
Hopefully the communities on reddit will have a bit more usage on lemmy in the near future.
I don’t use apps, but if they get rid of old.reddit.com I’m done. I’ve been on Reddit since the Digg migration and Digg for several years prior. It’s high time to ditch corporate backed social media. I’ve been enjoying Mastodon recently, so time to join Lemmy too. The Reddit ship is sinking and has been for years (since the stupid redesign) but there’s not much left above water at this point.
This news is what brought me back to check out Lemmy. I‘m just not gonna pay just to be able to use an alternative app to browse Reddit, no way, I‘d rather dump Reddit entirely.
The only social media I’m willing to pay for is community developed social media. I’ll gladly donate to support Mastodon and if Lemmy gains enough popularity I regularly visit I’d donate to support it too, but screw paying for “premium” “features” on corporate social media that is actively taking away from users to make the paid option more attractive.
If it affects alternative frontends like libreddit, teddit, etc., that will be enough for me to almost completely quit browsing.
Events like this are unpredictable, and it is why places like Lemmy need to always be ready to receive and retain users. I lost some interest because I felt the main instances had similar problems (culturally) to reddit instead of trying to be something better, and that community feedback seemed to go unreceived. The technology can help, but the rest is up to people putting in extra effort.
Yes there is definitely a lack in variety regarding instances. So people just need to go ahead and create new ones.
@kixik apologies to the people on Lemmy for this slightly out of context comment if it shows up. Slightly, because @bloonface just mentioned setting up an instance because of this, and I was curious to see how interacting with threads without a Lemmy account works.
It works just fine.
There’s some awesome communities on Reddit. It doesn’t look like user API keys will be behind a paywall only corporations. This is should have no effect on using Open Source Reddit clients. Ideally, I’d love to see more communities start building on Lemmy of course.
