Hell, I'll let this be my first comment; it's on a different instance than my account to boot! I'm running into some issues with some of the newer instances not being federated; some of the subreddits I was hoping to replace here are unavailable as a result. Still, I'm happy enough to be a part of something new and different.

The rust subreddit is apparently considering moving to Lemmy:

I've been curious as to what the end user experience on reddit might look like today and tomorrow. The blackout tracker seems to show fairly typical activity though. https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ That perplexes me.

Maybe people are still checking reddit like usual, but many posts are hours old in the private subreddits that they may subscribe to? I know a percentage of subreddits didn't go dark, but those wouldn't be big enough to cause engagement to stay at the usual levels. Anyone hazard a guess as to what's up?

Oh...thank you guys for keeping up with all the chaos from us new folks slamming your servers!

If the AMA taught us anything, it's that spez doesn't actually use reddit. Let alone understand it.
