I decided to try Lemmy(vlemmy specifically) a moment ago. WOW! It was incredibly responsive. What the heck? That was so weird, there was no delay in clicking. I didn't even realize this was a thing until it was so fast that I came here to talk about it. Not going to speculate, just impressed.
i very much doubt it will work More likely they will migrate to r/starwars2 when users are fed up with this moderator madness
Hadn't heard of Lemmy. This seems pretty good. Reddit might actually be in trouble if other subreddits follow suit. Someone should make a dedicated lemmy site (or other site) that acts as a directory for "subreddits" to each lemmy site so it's easier to browse. An equivalent "frontpage" would be cool too if that was possible to setup somehow (seems like it should be with fediverse)
You mean this? https://lemmy.world/communities/listing_type/All/page/1
And for those of us with no interest in following the mods, can /r/Startrek be opened again? If the old mods moved platforms, there’s no need to keep this private.
Seriously though, it's absurd that such a small group of incredibly privileged users (mods) get to speak for the majority and make decisions for them. Reddit should be removing these mods, adding new ones, and reopening subs. Mods shouldn't get to hold entire communities hostage when they throw a tantrum. Anyone can moderate a subreddit, these mods aren't special and they're completely replaceable. They should be rem…
I got banned from there because I didn't like Discovery. You have a top secret ultra elite experimental ship with a spore drive... with what? Something something tardigrades? But then your crew is a criminal, cadet Tilly?, everyone is unstable/untrustworthy, and a rather high concentration of LGBT people? But you get banned for pointing this out.
No, the members of /r/startrek are vowing to not use Reddit anymore. /r/startrek will be considered abandoned and given to anyone who asks for it. Reddit will take it away from these mods and I don't blame them. Maybe nobody will use it, but some people probably will, people who don't give a shit about stupid Internet wars and just want to read about and discuss things Star Trek. ...which, believe it or not, is most…
There was a brief period where the internet was shockingly stable. However, 'creative destruction' and churn is inevitable as the whole world continues to desire a better internet. If reddit cannot productively use this to come out with a better product and commitment to its community, hence destroy the bad within itself, it should fall apart in favor of new services. I spent a decade+ actively on reddit, and I truly…

It's distributed, but the login can be from any site. You don't need multiple accounts, you can subscribe to "subreddits" (not sure what they're called over there) on different servers from your instance, similar to how a gmail and a hotmail user can email each other or join the same mailing list.
Does this mean that if I go to startrek.website, I will see posts and comments from other "subs" I'm subscribed to?
HN being endlessly contrarian is really weird sometimes. You are in real-time witnessing the rebirth of community hosted and run forums. The thing HN has been lamenting the death of forever. This isn't some "migrate from walled garden A to walled garden B", this is the community setting up new-age phpBB except it's federated and interoperates with any and all ActivityPub. You can subscribe to /r/startrek from your Tw…
It's like HN is actually multiple people or something...

Some people feel that way. Me, I'm all for basic site-wide rules and automated moderation, as little as possible, and let me decide on the rest. Open it back up. There's no way it should just re-direct people to a competing site because that's what the old mods prefer.
That community was run by the old mods. Without mods, no subreddit. You're welcome to start your own with your mod preferences, though.
