a platform with 50 million users doesn't die as a result of a 2 day blackout. MySpace and digg are still technically alive this is probably reddit's biggest PR

this is probably reddit's biggest PR nightmare and this will make a permanent stain on the company.
Lemmy/kbin getting increased development is probably the best case scenario.
with the reddit sync dev and other devs making 3rd party clients we're going to see Lemmy be a viable alternative in the coming weeks or months.
I've already stopped using reddit on mobile. if they kill old reddit then my usage drops by over 90 percent
- BashiBazouk 3y agoDigg was bought out for the name and is a news aggregate site without comments. I'm trying to like Lemmy but it really needs a data dense "old.lemmy" interface. I doubt I'll stick with it...
- johnnyanmac 3y agoBetter chance than Reddit keeping old.reddit for another 2 years. Also, with a non-hostile API, it's very much possible for somene to design such an interface
- NekkoDroid 3y agoWell, Lemmy generally doesn't use much custom CSS outside of the standard Bootstrap 5 stuff, so writing one isn't too crazy. You might find something here that floats your boat (you need the stylus extension): https://userstyles.world/search?q=lemmy https://userstyles.world/search?q=lemmy (you might need to adjust on which pages these styles apply tho)
- Eldt 3y agoHave you tried kbin?
- ruffsl 3y agoHave you tried customizing the compact layout to look like old.reddit? - https://programming.dev/post/135335 https://programming.dev/post/135335 - https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey
