Lemmy has a few bugs and it's slow. The subscribe button sometimes take a couple minutes to work, and I can't even create a post in the lemmy.world community. It will take a few more months to perfect it.
It's not perfect. But I've noticed a disdain for Lemmy in people for no reason at all. I think it's due to the perceived complexity. If you go to join-lemmy.org, it's a little confusing. Many simply give up trying to decide which instance to join. That's a reason why sites like squabbles are getting so much attention.
Scummy behaviour from Reddit, but a potential boon for archivists. People who are running backups or maintaining archives of Reddit comments might want to take this opportunity to re-check historical deleted comments to see if they can be collected now, in this remaining window of API accessibility.
I'm so glad there is an alternative to reddit now. I love this community and would find it hard to leave reddit if there wasn't an another similar forum
I'm not super familiar with the Archive Team - what distinguishes this specific archiving effort from the dataset that PushShift archived? Is this primarily focusing on archiving specifically media (video, iamges), or comments/submissions in the time period since PushShift closed, or everything from the entire time period from 2005 onward?
