hey everyone. if you want to post links or discuss the Reddit blackout today, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy! Thanks!

I was wondering, how the temperature was in the Germany subs. Well, /r/de, /r/Gernany, /r/fragreddit and /r/ich_iel which are the largest by a huge margin are all still closed until at least the 18th. /r/de, the German language main sub, also links to https://spezistdoof.de/ (spez is dumb)

This makes me pretty happy as Reddit has repeatedly been trying to get bigger in Germany :D

Didn’t reddit piss off a lot of the German users by making fake subs filled with poorly translated bots?

It wasn’t poorly translated, and I’m not sure how many of them actually knew about it (I’m not very active in the German part). But yeah, that was their latest attempt to expand, last year they tried some kind of weird payment scheme, no idea what happened there.

edit: made clear that the emphasis was on poor

Do you have any insights as to why I have german posts appeared in my reddit front page when I have none of the german subreddits subscribed?

Nope
