Yeah this is the main reason I won't be giving up reddit 100% once the 3rd party apps go down. I definitely won't be doom scrolling on my phone like I used to, but I 100% will still use reddit on my desktop as a research tool. There's just nothing else like it for the amount of quality niche information atm.
Definitely an influx of users from reddit today. Honestly I'm impressed it's holding up as well as it is atm. It's a bit slower than usual, taking 3-5 seconds to load posts, but everything is still working 👍
One instance might have separate rules than another, so you can use multiple to get around that. Also if one instance gets shutdown for whatever reason you'll need another instance to browse through.
Generally though, no. One instance is fine and helps keep the system from getting overloaded with users.
^ This is it. I was attempting to go there by typing the URL directly, not via searching. I've been able to get to a couple more via this method now, thanks!
Are other certain communities unavailable through beehaw?
I was trying to access [email protected] through beehaw as it seems to be the largest related community currently, and I can't seem to access it, I just get a 404. I am able to access other communities on that instance, but not this one. Is it considered NSFW and thus blocked?
edit: working now. Tried it earlier and then tried again a few hours later and it was still not working. Looks like the solution is searching via beehaw itself with the full community address. going there via URL doesn't work to make beehaw recognize it.
if ur struggling try wiggling your finger around while its up there. if that doesn't work try a 2nd or 3rd finger
Yeah, it's a dangerous virus, but not widespread. When I looked into it, it was just a dozen of mods that I've never even heard of. Seems like it was caught before any major damage was made.
Phantom Liberty is coming soon! What are you hoping to see in it?
I'm personally hoping to see some new content in these Pacifica skyscrapers! According to N54 news, the big building in construction was bought out by Kang Tao, so maybe we'll get some new megacorp related gigs!
There are a couple now, but still very small, like 3 posts a day small
Yeah that's not happening. The tech differences add up to a horrid VR experience. Google cardboard was exactly this project, but it was burned because it was just plain bad. Phones aren't meant to be glued to your face, but VR headsets are built for it specifically and the difference is immense.
I've also been having some issues today connecting to @midwest.social. I was able to browse earlier today, but now cannot connect directly. I suspect it's something server side with DNS, or its a load issue from too many users.
That said, the actual content is still there if you access it from another server, like https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]
Any Baseball fans?? Brewers have had an interesting season so far, still holding onto that #1 spot in the division!
The Pirates are close, and have been for a while, but we're still in the lead for post season!
Any thoughts on the team so far?
I expect most of the content to be saved at some point before reddit fully dies. Many sites from the early 2000's no longer exist, but there are backups of forums online all over the place
