That’s what the 3rd party apps did best: didn’t show ads, let me filter posts with keywords in their titles, and let me use /r/frontpage as my default (NSFW posts show in that feed)

What really helps is the power users and moderators moved over too this time. Hopefully with this type of userbase Lemmy will be able to self-moderate and won’t end up like Voat.
It’s absolutely fantastic, there are posts when I open Jerboa that are from yesterday, I haven’t seen that since when I first joined reddit ~2010.
If Lemmy doesn’t grow at all I’ll be perfectly happy, and even if it does I can just hop to another server that has the amount of users I want.
“How do I connect to my printer?”
For my frontpage the change is small but still noticeable:
/r/pcm was always holding on by a thread, it looks like all the quality posters and moderation have left/given up.
/r/chess is down about 10-20% of its normal upvotes
/r/ProgrammerHumor is down about 50%
/r/Sysadmin is surprisingly normal-ish for upvotes, but the posts aren’t great. Although that sub has been mostly off topic rants for a while now… not sure I want to purely attribute that to the API change.
The point is to trash the site so new users don’t join, if they replace the number they lost they can say “hey look, we recovered in only 6 months”
Let the record show: I downvoted this
There’s a reason all irl votes are private.
I can sign in with a web browser, but this broke Jerboa for me
