To all the many Reddit apps that will stop working today, I salute you. It's been an honour.
I will now look for an alternative to Reddit.

Since, but of course, the top comment on my (aggressively down-moderated, possibly by HN itself) Hacker News thread Utterly Missed The Plot (I'm shocked, shocked...):
The point of this post is that the contributors to this subreddit are one person. And has been for going on ten years.
The moderator team is one person. And has been or going on ten years.
Much of the readership is ... one person, who refers back to older posts to link elsewhere. (Though I'll admit that according to Reddit's stats, surprisingly more than that.)
That the subreddit had already been largely on hiatus for the past three years, because of preexisting frustrations with Reddit's leadership and direction. The subject of much of the front page of the subreddit.
Archive snapshot from this past February (there's been no change to content since then): https://web.archive.org/web/20220224161047/https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/
That the moderator and contributor had long voiced concerns over precisely the issue of Reddit seizing control of subreddits, and a lack of any ongoing right over a subreddit, no matter how personal and how long it had been:
Quoting from "No, this subreddit is not fully dead yet, but ...":
<quote>
Years before "profile pages" became a thing, several people started what were effectively personal subreddits. /r/TalesByToxlab[1] is a classic instance, and also an exemplar of the conflicts arising. This is not my sub, and I'm not nominating it, to be ABSOLUTELY clear.
TBT was a personal space where one person shared their personal stories, some from real life, some fictional.
And I say "was", because /u/toxlab[2] died three years ago. A fact which large sites need to deal with.
(A ways back I'd computed that a site at the scale of Google+, with a nominal 3 billion profiles, saw on the order of 10k newly dead accounts every day. Reddit operates at about 1/10 that scale. Do the math.)
Should TBT be recycled back into the pool? It was never a "community site". What any modmail or logs, which might reveal personal messages and communications? I get these myself from time to time via several subs.
Reddit's stance has long been that subreddits are community, not personal, resources. For large and leading subs, this may well be appropriate. For small efforts, it almost certainly is not.
That concern is a chief one I've had with Reddit since beginning a few experiments of my own. I wrote on various aspects of Reddit which raise flags[3] five years ago. And this weighs heavily (though other factors contribute) in my decision to move my principle posting activity elsewhere[4], specifically to a blog whose features, content, and presentation are far more under my control.
I don't want my subs to become zombies or be allocated to others. When they're done, they should die, and be buried, their electrons recycled. And I suspect I'm not the only one.

This is no longer about arguably large and "community" subreddits which might arguably have some thin line of reasoning to legitimise Reddit's corporate claim to them, but small group and individual efforts, with private data and communications potentially being handed over to third parties. Issues I'd raised years ago, now proving to have been quite prescient concerns. One-person subreddits.
And in this case, that one person happens to be me.

https://lifehacker.com/the-four-best-reddit-alternatives-1850562547
Because reddit is a dumpster fire right now, Lifehacker has rounded up some of the best reddit-like alternatives:
- Lemmy
- Kbin
- Tildes
- Discord (sort of) -
Kbin, Lemmy, the landed gentry, and the rise of “threadiverse” - Reddit users, mods and entire sub-reddits are moving, migrating to fediverse sites like #Kbin and #Lemmy. “…if they (Reddit) somehow cobble together enough moderators to keep going and people reluctantly stay there for a while, everybody will keep looking for alternatives.” #Reddit #RedditMigration #RedditAlternatives #RedditBlackout #Redditapi #SocialMedia #Fediverse https://privacy.thenexus.today/8-days-later-draft-kbin-lemmy-landed-gentry/

Okey dokey. So, I'm looking at viable #RedditAlternatives to replace what #Reddit was providing for me* & I'm currently at the initial information overload stage.
My current understanding is that Lemmy is associated with tankies & best avoided, but it's also the most developed option presently.
Kbin seems to me to be more of an upcoming star, but still lacks important features & an app.
What have been others' informed experiences?

Reddit leadership is moving to forcibly take our subreddits and our work. Let’s move it somewhere safe.
Let’s start to replace our Reddit posts with “This content moved to the free spaces of the Fediverse.”

I’m a long-time #Reddit user with the karma to prove it. I love the site, but have been absent now for several days. PLEASE, stay off of Reddit for at least the next few days, we’ve got a point to make - that our community is mightier than the greedy corporation. The CEO says it will “…all blow over soon…” Let’s prove him wrong. It’s hard, but we need to stay off the site until management gets the point. It’s ok to explore profit-making moves, but it’s not ok to attack the community and valued third party app devs. #redditblackout #redditapi #redditstrike #redditapiprotest

With all the issues that brought Reddit under the spotlight I was wondering: is there something similar to Reddit in the Fediverse? #Reddit #redditblackout #redditapi #RedditStrike #Fediverse

#redditblackout has been effective:
> But if the blackout continues, Reddit’s recently accumulated goodwill with advertisers could quickly dissipate.
> “It’s going to be a big turning point,” Johnson said. “They’re hoping for the easy option where everyone quiets down.”

Most #RedditBlackouts on #Reddit are flawed. Do you think they care you're gone if you're back two days later?
