The humor is in the title “Welcome to Reddit. Where a community about your favorite things is waiting for you” and the first post (bottom of image) “Who abandoned their core audience and paid the price for it?”, since Reddit kind of was the first thing (the front page of the internet) and then did the second.

Communal sonic showers? Is this a Lower Decks survey? 🖖

Yes, and proud we are of all of them. :)

Might have to grab a couple oat sodas and peruse the instance. 🍻

As Bluskale mentions it’s a Kbin UI thing but it will be changing in the future.

If you look to the hamburger icon in the top right of the screen next to your username that’s the channel selector. Favorites is the third one down in the list.

This is what I’m thinking too. Narwhal is sticking around but once Narwhal 2 comes out it’ll be $5-7 per month and more for a user who makes a lot of API calls. If I’m remembering correctly Christian figured it would be close to $10 per month to support Apollo’s heavy users without going in the red. That’s crazy money to pay for access to Reddit.

As it stands now the upvote works as a favorite or like, downvote lowers reputation, boost raises reputation. It’s a bit confusing and there’s an open ticket on this. I’m not sure if all old actions will carry over or when the operations change it’ll get reset.

I see that now. Good catch!

Same here. The first link works for me if I open in a new tab. When I click the link directly it gives a 404 error. The second link gives 404 error either way.

Cool! This is a solid article that I can point people to who have confusion about the federated online spaces. Thanks!

Good explanations in your article! In case you may not already know there’s a kbin app (later to work with lemmy as well) called Artemis in the works as well.

You’re all good! I’m also an Ultra + Pro user and there’s no refund needed. Apple treats that kind of transaction as a one time payment. It’s only those who subscribe for a set amount of time (month or year) that are offered refunds.

Great list that I hope gets even more instances added in time.

Even Satan at hell.social wants nothing to do with Meta. 🤣

My 11 year account has been using nothing but third-party apps for Reddit on mobile. First Narwhal, then Alien Blue, finally Apollo.

You use the text box at the bottom of the page for replying to a thread.

Yes it is. They took a wonderful and well created Alien Blue and turned it into the hot garbage you see today. Reddit went years without their own app and ruined the one they purchased.

There’s a few permanently private subs I’m a part of and those people are wonderful. It’s nothing like the typical mixed bag Reddit experience. The communities are relatively small so it’s very easy to get to know most people there, certainly the regular posters. They’ve been so kind to me over the years that just abandoning them flat out isn’t something I’m going to do.

As for the rest of Reddit I may resort to looking something up there if I can’t find it elsewhere first but I don’t see myself contributing to public subs going forward.

The blackout may pass but the third-party developers and power users of the community have already been shown they’re not valued. Not sure there’s much Reddit can do to make those who left come back. Even if they give developers more time and a price reduction what’s to say they won’t go back on their word.
