I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!
The site has been overloaded, so now they are streaming it on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247

This is awesome. We all need to stick together on this one
R/SquaredCircle just went dark. They weren't even on the list as far as I saw.

So they use reddit APIs to check the status? They must be very rich
According to their GitHub page (their code is all open source), they pull the data from the r/modcoord sub.

So after June 30th we will not have an idea about the state of things anymore... :P
This is great. Some big ones are already dark.
The notifications contain the wrong amount of members for the subreddit, they all say 5k and below ^^ Not that it really matters, just FYI

My Reddit frontpage only contains a few minor subs still which are probably without an active moderator and some „going dark“ announcements. Very noticeable.
I just had a quick look on the front page on mobile browser, not logged in, and the top 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 'hot' posts are about the blackout, and the 'top' post is a thank you from the Apollo app creator.
(This is my first attempt at uploading a pic on here so 🤞)
This is amazing
Check for r/argentina, could not find it but it will be dark temporarily, maybe it's because of that. Great site!
I'm really confused by the chart on the site https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ I understand the dip annotated with the red arrow, but I do not understand the rebound annotated with the green arrow... With that many sites down, it should not be possible to rebound to normal levels...
I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.
What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn't dip or rise with comments. So now I'm wondering how automated a lot of posting is.
Bots, all the bot posts. If you even check "All" for a bit even on Lemmy you will see the bots are moving here as well.
If you go to the site and view by new it's just page after page of /r/askreddit. Tons of people posting to it with nowhere else to post. So that would explain some of the rebound but the graph is still odd that it rebounded to exactly where it should be if there was no blackout.

It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?
This is great to see. Thanks for sharing.
Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!
Was gonna share this here myself and then realized I still don't now how to search Lemmy on either client I use. 🤦🏾♂️
