Reddit shares opened up about 38 percent on Thursday in their first day of trading, in a sign of investor eagerness that set the stage for more tech companies to reach the stock market this year.

      Same! I’ve actually been really good about using Lemmy now. I only end up on Reddit when there is some obscure question someone answered ages ago. Not for the new content and certainly not posting comments or submitting any. Spez burned us all. He can rot in hell.

      probably would not be a stretch to say Lemmy and Mastadon are the real winners after the reddit exodus. Hope spez suffers a catastrophic failure in his IPO.

    This wasn’t a great first day performance. Sure there was an initial bid up, but that dropped off quickly. We need to see strong buying resistance on a drop (showing institutional buying) to keep the vultures from circling. (Not financial advice)

    Its 50% up i just saw. But give it a few days and the thing will crash. Pump and dump. Old investors want there money back they already put in years ago, as soon as they got that… gone…

      50% from what? It’s the first day. It opened at $47 and it’s at $50.16, at close. That’s not 50%.

          So weird. TradingView shows $47 at open, a high of $57.80 and a low of $45.05.

            I think they or this ticker includes the pre buyin stocks price that “loyal” reddit users could buy So that 50% up from that close not today or somehing.
