Reddit was down... So I made a Superstonk alternative in Lemmy.
? I'm confused. I am seeing this post right here on [email protected] (via my lemmy.ca login). Is the community not showing up across other federated instances?
I will note, however, that my attempt to subscribe to [email protected] is still marked 'Subscribe Pending' for some reason.. I tried days ago. Does the mod of the community need to approve me perhaps? Pinging @mein_[email protected]

I've read on the superstonk reddit, the reason to stay on reddit was to reach a lot of people with new dd. If a post hits the front-page there it can be seen by milions of people potentially. The argument seems sound to me, but I would rather forego the publicity a reddit post can potentially create and enjoy the freedom of foss community like here on lemmy.
I already created a post about lemmy as alternative to reddit on r/superstonk some time ago, but it never gained any traction. We could even host our own lemmy instance and keep all the information save in the hands of the community...
To be honest, I am glad to be away. The community went away from critical thinking to batshit insane conspiracy theories. Most of the time the frontpage was filled with absurd tinfoil posts between the DRS posts (I do not criticize the latter). DDs were mostly relying on previous DDs and stated things as matter of fact even though we never got definite proof of them, like the basket swap stuff. I get, that we do not have the data to accurately verify it, but at least state somewhere in your post, that we do not know that for sure. You know, the scientific way.
I went to lurking entirely after the first year or so, only occasionally posting some updates on what's going on with GameStop Germany, such as store closures, updates to the website and support system, etc. Had a fairly high Karma account mostly from superstonk, and all the preceeding subs. Went with all the migrations. It went quiet, because most had been settled and figured out, I believe.
The next interesting wave of info will come in a few years, when DRS has reached enough shares to lock the float. I believe every short is a future buyer. But I also strongly believe the can will be kicked until the can kickers die and beyond. Just interested to see how they fuck with the system once DRS should have made it impossible to do so any longer.
To my mind, my investment is either gone or will pay in a few years. Either by virtue of GME turning around properly or by shit unravelling for the shorts. No need to discuss it further. Just keeping an eye on news every few days.
The DRS movement failed to lock enough float. Unless the price crashes to sub-1$s so it can be locked more quickly, there will be no MOASS.
Reddit has a critical mass to sustain the thought bubble, but unlike a hobby community I don't think you'll be able to transition off-site so easily.
What do you mean by faijed ? It's an ongoing process though. So why on superstonk if you don't agree with the premise?
Fair enough
Shill - thats why. A low level one at that if he's trolling a lemmy instance.
