    Finally created my account to the forum not even 2 mins ago… after seeing the fosscadtoo go down its only a matter of time for the others. I passed the word along to join here a bit but we’ll see.

    I knew about the index but I’ve been lurking since the OG subreddit. The backup going down finally made me switch.

    Don’t hold your breath. People are already trying again create new subs. Its just getting worse and people are too intimidated by lemmy. That, or they just refuse to stop using reddit.

        The fact that it’s its own app. That plus resistance to change, from what I can tell.

          Oh no! I have to use my desktop to sign up! Impossible! - average response to Lemmy.

          It’s literally what Reddit should have been to avoid enshittification in the first place. It’s better in so many ways.

            You’d think “not getting booted off the platform” and “we have a full backup of the old subreddit” would’ve been good enough reasons to tough it through a mildly-inconvenient setup process.

        I’m not intimidated, just can’t figure out how to get guncad on it…as well as the weird sign in that pulls up unrelated communities or whatever. If someone could do a walkthrough video on how to setup a lemmy app to connect…it would probably be helpful. I just use the website instead, as forums are a welcomed old friend for me.

    /r/3D2A appears to be back up and acting normally, but we’ll see if it survives the day.

      I was looking at it right before I left work to come home and 10 minutes later it was banned. Glad to have found this place right before
