The fact that I'm enjoying this discussion means that I'm still addicted to something Reddit-like. I hope this or some other alternative really takes off in the next few days, otherwise I think many people will just reluctantly return to Reddit

I've seen a lot of growth here, despite the ddos protection causing issue with syncing to other instances. So my migration plan will be to use kbin for all I can, especially discussions / being an active user, while using Reddit for topics that I don't see have a good replacement yet (while checking frequently if that changes). The goal being to pull out of more and more subs on Reddit until I can just leave the entire thing behind. Maybe there will be the odd sub that will be lost / left behind, but that would be a minor price at the end of the day.
I kind of love the selection of subreddits that are still available:
/r/amitheasshole, /r/mildlyinfuriating, /r/therewasanattempt, /r/whatcouldgowrong, /r/publicfreakout, /r/quityourbullshit, among others
It paints such a lovely picture of the current situation! :D
Hope more communities decide to keep it private indefinitely
/r/PathofExile announced they're locking themselves indefinitely. The mods have setup a Lemmy instance to replace the sub and are directing users there now.
There are a handful of others going dark indefinitely as well.
Did you join? My request wasn't accepted by now.
I did originally create an account there, but it was when they announced it. I'd reccomend reaching out to Multiplicity on the PoE discord as he runs the PoE lemmy server.
You should be able to post directly there using your current account though, it should be federated with most lemmy instances and kbin.
Thx
I hope kbin stops being a reddit monitoring site. Half my page is full of posts about reddit on non-related subs, and I don't care about that platform anymore.
