After Netflix, I am cracking down on paying for these services.

So… by “users MUST not”, you mean you’d prefer if they didn’t.

Doesn’t stop them from showing up via All and Local, which is what I want to do without having the completely block these communities. Just my preference.

I haven’t looked at the PR, but if it’s really that simple, that doesn’t seem like the full solution. I don’t particularly want a sub with 10 users popping up on the front page after 3 upvotes just because it got to the top of that sub. Sub weight, as mentioned in the top comment here, should probably be taken in to account.

Yeah, I do. There’s just more content there. More articles. More questions. More discussion. Not all of it is good, but a lot of what I use reddit for is taking the temperature on things… games, movies, books, general opinions on news articles, etc. I like Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the userbase to make this my only “front page of the internet” for now.

Killing off third party apps was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I still browse Reddit, not gonna lie, but I don’t contribute anymore. And my mobile browsing will likely stop entirely once Apollo stops working tomorrow. I’m using Lemmy as a substitute, but also using this whole thing as a general opportunity to use social media less… less time mindlessly browsing reddit, more time doing things I actually enjoy.
