I think so. With the end of Apollo, I have no other way to access Reddit except their mobile website or their app. I have the feeling it’s too late now, Apollo is unlikely to come back, regardless of what Reddit does. Now, I just hope kbin / lemmy will grow enough to become a good alternative (still learning how everything works ^^).
Even if they reversed the API changes, sacked Spez, reinstated i.reddit.com, ate an entire bucket of humble pie, and personally paid me £100 I’d still prefer the vibe here to be honest. It’s way less angry and more authentic here.
Yes, Kbin/lemmy needs enough good and original content to flourish. What I currently miss is the niche subreddits on lemmy. For specific brands or particular products or hobbies it’s easy to find a community on reddit, but there are only a few already available on lemmy.
You are absolutely right. Reddit was so big that it was possible find a community for everything. I don’t expect kbin/lemmy to get there anytime soon unfortunately.
I agree, this is a big value of reddit. It’s only solved with mass migration, about which I am skeptical. We also need more niche communities as folks arrive.
What is stopping you from creating lems for things that you’re passionate about? We have an opportunity here to create a true alternative to reddit, and the more cozy we make it for r/efugees, the better the transition can eventually go!
I suppose many there are also affected by the Apollo debacle too. It just makes that pill even more bitter.

Reddit is already starting to shut down mobile browser access. They’re doing it in waves.
