a platform with 50 million users doesn't die as a result of a 2 day blackout. MySpace and digg are still technically alive

this is probably reddit's biggest PR nightmare and this will make a permanent stain on the company.

Lemmy/kbin getting increased development is probably the best case scenario.

with the reddit sync dev and other devs making 3rd party clients we're going to see Lemmy be a viable alternative in the coming weeks or months.

I've already stopped using reddit on mobile. if they kill old reddit then my usage drops by over 90 percent




Digg was bought out for the name and is a news aggregate site without comments.

I'm trying to like Lemmy but it really needs a data dense "old.lemmy" interface. I doubt I'll stick with it...


Well, Lemmy generally doesn't use much custom CSS outside of the standard Bootstrap 5 stuff, so writing one isn't too crazy.

You might find something here that floats your boat (you need the stylus extension): https://userstyles.world/search?q=lemmy (you might need to adjust on which pages these styles apply tho)


Have you tried customizing the compact layout to look like old.reddit?

Better chance than Reddit keeping old.reddit for another 2 years.

Also, with a non-hostile API, it's very much possible for somene to design such an interface


Have you tried kbin?
