Yeah. This would be nice. Anything outside of Lemmy should open in a new tab.

This was my favorite Reddit app. So happy to see it coming to Lemmy now that I’ve moved on from Reddit.

If it is not funded through user donations, how is it self sufficient? Genuinely curious.

Yeah. I worry about how many things are moving into Discord. They are giving so much away for free right now that it stifling competition. Eventually they will need to turn a profit and, with competition reduced, they can get real shitty with it.

What would the checkmark mean?

Wikipedia is set up as a nonprofit. They have annual fundraising drives asking their users for money. They also have an endowment and receive grants.

A donation drive could be a good model but the decentralized nature of the platform would complicate things.

AKA The profit motive

HOCKY STICK!

Same. Always kinda talked myself out of commenting on reddit because my comments would never be engaged with. Felt like I missed the boat there. Time to start over and build a new community.

Yeah. I think this is pretty much the accepted narrative. Kill the 3P apps -> Consolidate the user base -> Serve everyone adds -> Hopefully turn a profit -> Go public or sell the company -> Founders/Investors cash out and profit.

The collateral damage is that they risk killing the culture that makes Reddit a place people want to congregate.
