To someone who is subscribed to multiple communities on Reddit, has there been any change in their feed in their quality or amount of posts since July 1st? Any change in the amount of comments in the posts? Even the number of community subscribers?

I want to see how Reddit is doing without going back to their site to check. I know other people might still be seeing Reddit, so I wish to hear directly from them.

    r/all is showing the weirdest subs. In 10 years just stuff I’ve never even heard of. Not sure if that’s good or bad, but something is definitely off.

    No (noticeable) change in some communities I care about (ketorecipes, stellaris, pathfinder_kingmaker, RogueTraderCRPG), neither of which exist in any relevant way here. Others have some activity here (Homeassistant, Selfhosted, de), but are way more active over there and with again no noticeable change.

    Some very few exceptions are subreddits still locked (/r/Javascript), or just unmodded (/r/Homeautomation has one current post from request bot telling people it’s now unmodded and can be requested). Kinda hard to tell which subreddits are dead without going there specifically ;) But I covered most of the ones I used to look at.

    Overall, it’s pretty much as I expected, which is that nothing will change. For me, I only go to reddit for specifics now (which I guess is mainly when looking for keto recipes), it’s not a pinned tab any more, and obviously the mobile app I used stopped working (dev started working on a Lemmy version, though !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world)

    Pre ban, it’s quality was down for sure. More smaller threads, weird questions that usually get left on the cutting room floor, all that. Reddit survived this, but much like someone surviving a life-threatening disease, they might not be truely 100% ever again. I believe this is just the first of many bad step reddit may take as they IPO and try to get more money out of people, I’d imagine. A slow decline, like twitter.

    All I gotta say is Wilber is downright my favorite name, and easily one of the cutest names out there.

    You can check on Reddit surreptitiously by going to https://libreddit/r/[subreddit]. If I understand correctly, reddit gets no “credit” for your visit that way.

    The sub that I mod has gotten a LOT quieter since I stopped posting there (around the time of the blackout). Historically I was doing the bulk of the posting there, I guess.

    There are 11K subscribers over there; my new “official” community has 16 at latest count–despite my notice and links to it.

    When things settle down in the Fediverse, I’ll make an announcement that I will be posting stuff exclusively on lemmy. We’ll see what happens. 🤷‍♂️

      Keep in mind it only shows subs from your instance, might actually be a bit more.
