Reddit admins deleted all but 2 of a Lemmy dev's 120 comments in the Apollo thread - Lemmygrad
lemmygrad.ml
As you can see on Lemmy dev parentis_shotgun [https://old.reddit.com/user/parentis_shotgun/overview]’s profile, they were very active plugging Lemmy and answering questions in the Apolo dev’s thread [https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/?sort=top&limit=500] about Reddit’s API pricing, with 120 total comments made in that post. They were well-received, with 3 of their comments getting over 400 upvotes. However, reddit admins must have noticed that reddit is bleeding users to Lemmy, because all but 2 of parentis_shotgun’s 120 comments (one about Beehaw and one about Microsoft) in that thread are removed.

:reddit-logo: knows its days are numbered, their IPO later this year will fall flat on its face

Edit: Someone @ImOnADiet on Lemmygrad says it was just r/apolloapp mods

    Wow, it looks like https://lemmy.ml/ is much more active now. Only 586 users online currently, but there were well over 600 earlier (and Lemmy.ml has passed Lemmygrad on https://join-lemmy.org/instances to take the #1 spot)
