Im also asking this on TUMBLR to see what the general consensus is
If the r/196 vibe stays here I’m gonna keep vibin here. I’m liking lemmy so far and don’t forget: the community isn’t the subreddit - we just happened to be on that subreddit. 196 can be anywhere we want baby 🤠
The real 196 was inside us the whole time??? 🥺 👉👈
there were other things in us too😏
yep, this is definitely the 196 i know and love lmao
Lemmy is love. Of course I’m staying.
If reddit actually reverses course on the API stuff, then hell yeah I’m going back. But if the sub just reopens after the blackout without any substantive change, nah I’m staying here.
Im not counting on reddit to make substantive changes. Plus, it is kinda nice here, more calm, better vibes for other stuff
D: why you go back when you have a non profit community running on free software?
I’m glad reddit is going down because finally FOSS can get the spotlight
I mean, realistically I’ll probably stay on both. There are tons of great reddit communities that just don’t exist here, at least not yet, and I’m genuinely sad to be losing them. Reddit has been a part of my daily routine for well over a decade now, and that’s not something I can just give up easily. I do really like the vibes here at Lemmy, but it’s got a lot more growing to do before it can fully replace all the wonderful different niches that reddit was able to fill so well.

In case your serious:
- Redditor creates r/195 (that was their dorm number), which has the rule that you must post before you leave
- r/195 dies (i think the og mod just stopped modding, but it’s hard to find info with the reddit blackout)
- r/196 is created with the same rule
I quite like it here, but if everyone else goes back to Reddit, it’ll become rather hard to scroll here
