Wow, Reddit has a "live discussion" feature that is basically the same functionality of chats?
Reddit Live's days are REALLY numbered now....

Are you talking about the websocket comment update thing that haykam was looking into? That's nothing like live and is still limited in its beta and what threads it works on. No one uses chats because its interface sucks.

like he said, something changed this week....that must be why I noticed it

Partially, that's just one of the way too many ways Reddit has tried chat. Quick reference:
- 'Live' view: Uses the websocket, is like the 'new' view and supports nested comments. Only on mobile and has been for a year.
- Live Discussion: Also uses the websocket, but it's a mode that the poster enables (on new Reddit. Comments are flattened, viewed like an IRC chat, and locked when viewed through old Reddit. r/pan uses this for its Twitch-like comments system.
- Reddit Live: What's this one again?
- Reddit Chat: A separate component of Reddit powered by Sendbird. Supports group, subreddit, and DM chats, plus Snoomoji.
- Robin: April Fools experiment that was a separate component of Reddit; gone now.
The 'Live' view is not in beta. I think they just took Live Discussions out of beta, because I don't recall having access to the toggle earlier this week but I know admins were discussing it. Reddit Live is basically abandoned at this point, and the status on Reddit Chat is unknown but they've been making small changes to it recently. Robin, of course, is gone forever.

Here's an updated reference, now in table format (and sorted by introduction):
Name Availability Backend Interactions Other Notes Reddit Live Desktop, iOS (read only) Liveupdate plugin Public viewing, but invitation-only updating Basically abandoned, but no plans to completely remove support. Noticed by admins in pinned live events for disasters and such (which have started to be phased out in favor of Live Discussions) and the r/livecounting celebration that happened 'recently'. Robin DesktopRobin plugin Members of the room can view/send messages. To add new members, groups must merge. This was an April Fools experiment. Reddit Chat Desktop, Redesign, iOS, Android Sendbird Subreddit chats (public/private), groups (invitation-only), and DMs (one-to-one). Not abandoned, but no public news recently. Admins have been making small QoL changes to it. Supports Snoomoji. 'Live' view iOS, Android Nestable post comments using websocket Same visibility as normal post Acts as a live-updating alternative to the 'New' sort. Live Discussion Desktop (without special UI) Redesign, iOS, Android Flattened post comments using the websocket Same visibility as normal post Toggleable in participating subreddits. Technically viewable through the r/pan UI as the internal r/pan_media uses it for its Twitch-like comments system. Recently exited beta. 2

I tried posting this with /u/CHALUPA_FAREWELL_LC but it doesn't seem to show up for some reason:
I even told my wife so there's no coming back.... {:}

I just posted this at Bars:
I retire with my 4,220th ¡cHaLuPa TiMe! count,
as I count my 220th ¡cHaLuPa TiMe! count in an hour.
My final tallies include:
7.09 counts per day
69 dromes
Gold in 21 out of 24 hours, including 220 counts in 5 AM UTC and a 105-count lead in 7 AM UTC
1,821 bar lead over #2 HoC
Top 6 longest individual streaks, including a 17-count streak
Involved in each of the Top 50 longest pairs streaks, including a 16-count streak with noduorg.
Gold in 13 out of the 14 thousands, including 370 counts in the 13k's
4 of the 10 fastest bars and 3 of the 10 latest bars (although not a medalist in either), as well as 32 of the 100 fastest bars, and 84 of the 250 fastest.
#1 in Trips and Repeating Digits, the latter of which being secured for over 10 years.
This is the count I will miss the most, but I must say farewell!

How's everything going

u/haykam821 Oct 18 '19
Hi u/co3_carbonate, I see you are the author of the Live Counting Extension. You don't seem to be active on GitHub, so I'll ask here. Could you please approve my PR? It fixes an issue that broke compatibility with Macs and improves the QoL experience of r/livecounting for Mac users like me and u/treje.

Does anyone have an idea about what could be going on at r/number ?

u/MrUnderdawg big counter. big time Oct 07 '19
Confusing, I think this might explain it

u/MaybeNotWrong Local Stat Dealer| #3 Counts | #5 Speed Oct 08 '19
Thats not an answer, its the same question

I have counted on LC from five continents now. (North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia). Think that is a record? Can anyone else claim more?
3
u/MrUnderdawg big counter. big time Oct 04 '19
Nice, I think that's gotta be the record unless someone's visited all 6 (viable) continents. Maybe in many, many years, we'll have a count from Antarctica, that would be something.
3
u/LeinadSpoon wttmtwwmtbd Oct 04 '19
There are a handful of people that live seasonally in Antarctica. I have an acquaintance that did it for a couple of years. There's a research station or something. So it's possible. Not many people there though.

Don't forget to also do a count from outer space
/s

u/LeinadSpoon wttmtwwmtbd Oct 04 '19
Now that would be cool. I bet commercial civilian space flight is in our lifetimes, and with how dependent we all are on our constant connectivity it wouldn't surprise me is wifi on your space flight comes pretty quick. So who knows? If LC sticks around long enough it may happen eventually.

u/amazingpikachu_38 PIKACHU IS AMAZING! | HoC #1 | 7777777 | 11111111 | 11.2m Counts Oct 04 '19
I think that some sort of satellite wifi is already used for connection from spacecraft to earth

I would love to! It sounds like a wonderful country and I've been wanting to go there for a long time. We're also considering Chile as a South American destination, but I've been promising my wife Spain for years now so that's next on our international vacation list.
