I swear to god, lemm.ee’s server has been more reliable for me than reddit’s ever was
I miss the good old days when reddit admins still pretended to be part of the community. Anybody remember the “when this post is [x hours old] reddit will go down for [xyz]” posts? Then the admins were in the thread cracking jokes with everyone about the fact that their servers were powered by hamster wheels and they couldn’t afford a programmer? Oh how the times have changed…
The admins also liked those days better than current times, I’m sure. It’s just a money issue. Reddit wasn’t profitable back than (still isn’t, I think), so it needed an investor. An investor watch it’s money back eventually, so you’re gonna have to make changes. Often times those changes suck
Strange that it happens today. Hmm.
Created my account yesterday because of this!
Been meaning to migrate to Lemmy for a while and seemed like the push I needed
Welcome! We have beans. I’m still not sure why.
Why would we not?
On a friday evening/night in the US? lol. Not exactly peak hours. I wonder what stupid shit they pushed to prod.
As a side note, I sideload Apollo for a few niche communities on reddit that don’t exist here on Lemmy. But I was having intermittent issues a few hours before reddit actually went dark.
I was having trouble with the Stealth app and old.reddit around that time, but “new” reddit was working just fine. Having kinda mixed feelings that it was just a temporary outage and they didn’t finally nuke old.reddit.
