I think more people are going to quit Reddit than migrate to anything else. Apollo is such an ingrained experience for iOS users that anything else wouldn’t be worth it.

This week has been full-on-crisis mode for us devs too. Reddit is not making things easy on us.

Hey, i just want to say that i really appreciate everything you're doing. Tons of awesome work.

And i know I'm not alone.

Where should i donate? Either time or money or both? Server costs, app dev costs(i know you also develop jerboa), etc.

But really i just wanted to say thank you. We all really appreciate your efforts. I know it's gotta be overwhelming at the moment so it's nice to just hear that once in a while. You're very much appreciated.

Thank you! We're just glad we can make something ppl find useful in some way.

Here's our donation page, and there are many other ways to contribute to lemmy too: helping code, writing apps and clients for it, doing translations, and helping ppl get instances set up. Together, as a federation, we can beat reddit and all these US tech giants.

The open collective option was easiest for me since it lets you do a one time donation. I’ll donate more later, but I like to donate on my own schedule.

One thing you can do is host your own instance, to take the load off of this one

I'm going to be doing that soon and deleting my account here

I wonder how many PTSD episodes your display name has triggered. 😋

It would take time for reddit client devs to build new apps for Lemmy.
