Comment on Reddit will force everyone to log in

  The thing is, the people who were browsing Reddit without an account are just going to browse Lemmy without an account as well. :P

    Nothing wrong with that

      Agreed, but it’s presumptive to think they’ll make accounts here when they didn’t make accounts there.

      What to do about the influx of new users? Nothing. Reddit’s latest foot-shooting won’t drive new account creation the way the original exodus did.

    At the start, yes. But I would imagine some fraction will convert over if they like the content.

    I suspect that’s how a lot of people got started on Reddit.

      Yeah, I had stopped commenting and voting in reddit because it has felt less and less impactful with time and with the huge echoes chambers and also bots.

      There are still a lot of echo chamber here but they seems less impermeable?

      Anyway since I’m on Lemmy I’m motivated to participate. And I don’t think I’m an exception on that.

    Not true. I am that person.

    For sure to some degree, but I watch a weekly fccincinnati game thread (soccer) not logged in because I deleted my account 3 years ago.

    Noticed last night I couldn’t look at that thread in old reddit without logging in, I could still visit by going to regular reddit which wasn’t gonna happen.

    I do have a throwaway from long back that maybe has one comment posted. so I used that last night but it will likely end with me visiting even less than I do now.

      You could try the redlib front end as an alternative.

        Sure, if it ever worked.

        I just want enough people to come here so I don’t want to give them any clicks

  @zen I hope so. The "don't have to login" part though, while technically possible, I suspect will be less usable here, just due to nature of federation (and, while I think its a good thing IRL, discovery isn't helped that some of the biggest instances have blocked each other).
