I’ve seen pirate related subs on reddit be shut down over the years and the community disappearing with it, so I’m elated that this API stuff has led to a bigger push for wonderful subs like this finding homes elsewhere.

Ditto. The influx seems to be causing some instances to be overloaded but I see it as a good sign? Hope people are patient with the transition.

I just want Baconreader for Lemmy.

Same. I never used Reddit that much anyways so I think a closer community will work better (along with all the other benefits Lemmy has)
