Jonah is the admin of Lemmy.one, a tracker-free, federated link aggregator, as well as privacyguides.org, mstdn.party, and discuss.techlore.tech.

How/which URL should we link to then?
My (somewhat) hot take is that large migrating subreddits should probably host their own communities, which is what we did when we told people on r/PrivacyGuides to move to Lemmy. Or at the very least, actually coordinate with instance admins beforehand about all of this, clearly lemmy.ml isn’t the ideal choice for this situation.
My guess is that Reddit is alluding to the stupid suggestion of “just make your app more efficient with requests bro” (paraphrasing) that I saw an admin make. Reddit’s already said they’re not open to negotiations.

The Apollo dev (/u/iamthatis) estimated that the new pricing would cost him $20m per year. I raised this with Reddit – they said that his calculations were “totally wrong”, but they were unable to discuss why. Given that the Apollo dev literally just multiplied the cost by the number of requests, I have trouble seeing how this could be wrong.
lol
“The content” on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back… I don’t know if it’s possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.
I’m trying to understand this community and posts there like “how to disprove the lies about the DPRK?” To me, the most telling thing about these pro-North Korea communities is that there are no North Koreans within them 🙃
The only problem is that if your instance doesn’t know about that community yet, it’ll just 404, you still have to search for it first because visiting the link doesn’t make your instance fetch the community yet.
This should still be the default behavior when it autofills a community link though, I hope they make this change 👍
