#API pricing protests caused #Reddit to crash for 3 hours

Looks like there's a Reddit to Lemmy (and the rest of the fediverse) going on!

(As some of you may know, the tanking of Apollo has officially made me quit Reddit.)

@avoidthehack Could you recommend a good decent alternative to reddit? Also are there any good alternatives to youtube?

@luism A good chunk of people have been signing up and using Lemmy, which is another part of the fediverse. I'm hearing good things about it from ex-Redditors.

There are alternatives to Youtube like Odysee and PeerTube. PeerTube is federated and Odysee is based on blockchain.

There are also private YouTube front ends like Invidious
