1 year agoPosting the issue to Github is probably the best path if you’re able to do so.
That allows other technical users to comment and puts it on the dev’s radar instead of relying on a post that they may or may not see.

You either need API access, which is what started this whole fiasco, or you’re relegated to scraping the site, which can be very cumbersome and prone to error.
Welcome aboard!
That’s the thing. Reddit will live on for quite some time, but enough damage has been done to position alternatives as the better choice.
I personally think it will be a combination of all these fediverse sites.
Imagine having your own personal site connected to Lemmy, Kbin, and everyone else’s personal sites.
It’s pretty incredible.
Exactly how I remember it.
To a “normal” user, a Lemmy (or any federated) instance is just another Reddit-like site.
If a user signs up and see content in their feed, why do they need to care about federation?
The federated system gives “normal” users the content they want, and “technical” users the ability to self-host and connect to other federated servers.
I think a handful of popular federated instances will see the majority of Reddit emigrants who don’t need/care to know about how federation works.
