Not that, but for the current situation:
Best thing about Lemmy is that there’s no concept of Karma!
It’s not about pursuing Reddit to take back the API pricing, at this point people are aware that that’s not gonna happen. Mods also know that if they keep the subreddit private, they’ll soon be removed. I think it’s smart that there is NSFW content in a sub that frequently is shown on r/all. NSFW subs don’t have advertisements, and this will drive away investors.
But yeah, at some point, mods should look for alternatives and just give up IMO. Stop using Reddit altogether.
It was great thinking IMO. They just care about the advertisements and investors. They don’t care about who will watch what content.

So this is what spez meant by
Apollo-Related Subreddit Blackouts ‘Will Pass,’ No Significant Revenue Impact So Far.
Man, they really really want that cash, I don’t think Reddit cares at all at this point. They’d be happy with repost bots on their platform.
I don’t think I’d really want to read my 15 year old posts anyways…
Lol
Yes. The user accounts would also be gone.
Well, I see. All I’m worried about some essential piece of information which could be useful for people will be lost. As an aspiring dev, you do sometimes spiral down into the Reddit hole, for getting a solution.
Major communities would be lost if any site decides to shutdown.
Yes, I agree. But coming from Reddit, which is centralised and for profit, they have to ensure that their servers run full time.
On the open source side, i.e., here at Lemmy, anyone can build an instance. Which is great for a lot of reasons. But, hypothetically let’s say I have an instance and I can’t bear up the cost of running the server. I would like to close the server down and there exists communities with thousands of users. Then what?
I know it’s easier to spring the communities back up, but it’s just starting again from scratch, and also losing all the important information that had been posted on it.
That’s interesting. If a server goes down or the admin shuts it down for whatever reason, some major communities will be lost. Is it supposed to be like this or am I missing something?
There should be a migrating feature for profiles IMO. Would really help with speed if the server is hosted near to you.
Yeah I think many people who use third party clients will completely stop using Reddit altogether.
Frankly, my first temptation was to ignore the overload warning for fear of missing something by joining another instance.
I think many non tech savvy users won’t understand how Lemmy works and just give up trying to understand how to signup. Plus some instances have a form and users are waitlisted. I think that’s the biggest con of Lemmy.
