as the title says, all of these frontends are dead now, which means that its impossible to view any of the datat that exists on these sites if we dont own an account
is that it? should we just quit using these sites or what?
We’ll live. Long live the fediverse (and old-school forums)
BTW: was there ever or is there any sort of listing for all sorts of hobbyist or thematic forums? The main reason I never used many of them was because I never came across them and admittedly it was pretty easy to do that in reddit just by typing r/doesacommunityforthistopicexist
edit: is there some similar listing for mastodon? I’m having trouble finding a type of technical-oriented crowd.
