There have been some reports that Reddit is restoring deleted comments, so it’s recommended that people overwrite their comments instead of deleting them.
The overwhelming majority of Redditors probably don’t really know what the actual issue is, and on the surface, Reddit charging for an API that they’ve allowed free access to for years probably seems logical. Plus, people are creatures of habit, they’d rather go back to the same website they’ve been visiting, with the community that they already know, than try to figure out what the heck a Lemmy is.
I feel like there would definitely be people who would enjoy something similar for Lemmy. I think with the federated nature of Lemmy, 3rd party tools are going to be crucial when it comes to widespread adoption, as I feel like they’re going to play a huge role in abstracting the confusing, nerdy parts of federation away from the general public.
