The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
Yea tbh Lemmy is kinda crap and definitely feels like only a short stop on the next major platform after reddit.
Not enough of reddit left the site so Lemmy is still very slow for content in comparison and lacks the more granular content that made reddit so good.
I blame that on too few users thus far. things are improving
