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. Conclusion: We need more Lemmyposting on reddit so people know to join Edit: @dessalines@lemmy.ml [https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines] posted [https://lemmy.ml/post/1127265] about it

: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

    Tech is drying up ATM, which is why there's layoffs all over the place. They shoulda done it in 2021.

      Where is reddit's room for growth, too? It's not anywhere near a hot new social media site, and the changes it's making to get ready for this IPO are negatively impacting their existing users. It's a mature site that's hacking away at what it has.
