Interested in getting a feel for what people may be likely to do IF reddit reverses their decision regarding API access, or reduces access fees to a reasonable level and 3rd party apps remain sustainable.
While I know the chances of this are extreeeemely slim, until 1st July there is an ever so slight chance this could still happen.
From my perspective, the community harm is done, and those who have left prior to July 1 have left due to principles, not because their app stopped working. As such, I’d be inclined to think most of those migrators would stay here in the fediverse.
But would we see a mass exodus back to reddit if the changes were undone? It’s easy to say no, but if it went back to operations as relatively normal, it may be easy to justify going back for some users.
I’d like to think I wouldn’t go back. I’ve deleted content and account from reddit. I’ll be happy here so long as there is enough userbase for some discussion.
I’ve been
backbanned from r/soccer, there’s nothing left for me there lmaoHow I wish c/soccer picked up some steam, but alas doesn’t look like enough people jumped in
It’s a fresh start. I think historical injustices and America-centrism need to be defeated and the new community should carry the glorious label of Football. ⚽
(sadly, the biggest football community at the moment seems to be @soccer. This link might work for Lemmy users)
Saddened that it’s not /m/football, it should be /m/football.
I think someone needs to be the change. Preferably someone who understands offside (I am, in other words, not suited).
There are these:
The most popular of those seems to be the one on lemmy.world (accessible from Kbin at https://kbin.social/m/football@lemmy.world)
Kbin’s /m/soccer seems to have some activity: https://kbin.social/m/soccer
You should be able to read/write to it from Lemmy. Since you’re on Lemmy.ml, this link should work: https://lemmy.ml/c/soccer@kbin.social
in the usual syntax it would be written as
@soccer@kbin.social or !soccer@kbin.social
(that syntax gets translated to the local form by the instance renderer). Lemmy uses the ! form usually
