The next few days are going to be wild. Brace yourselves

Tomorrow, reddit will be shutting off 3rd party app access. If the twitter migration is anything to go by, that means that the wave of new users coming in the next few weeks will be much bigger than the wave we saw earlier this month.

Our lead techy admin @[email protected] is also recovering from broken bones and surgery, so she will be slower to respond to issues :)

All of that being said, we're as prepared as we can be. We're currently running our instance on hardware with excess capacity to spare, but who knows if it will be enough.

So, good luck to all of us, and see you on the other side :)

  • Honestly, it's really hard to say what will happen. I do think there's gonna be an exodus from reddit, however it's hard to say where people will go after that. kbin has been coming up in discussions about reddit alternatives, but same with some of the other federated setups. I've been searching for the past week for something that looks/feels like reddit and this is the closest thing so far. I will say, hopefully since it's going down on a Friday, there might be a lull until Monday before people really start coming in.
