Yeah, Reddit gets something like 52 million daily active users and 450 million monthly users. Lemmy has 500k total and 150k active.
Even if all of Lemmy went over and engaged with Reddit, it wouldn't even be a blip compared to Reddit drawing a portion of their monthly users in. Especially when the discontent is over whether someone is contributing a fractional percent to the vagaries of engagement, and whether that meaningfully benefits Reddit, which is further predicated on this being a big brain move to collect engagement numbers and not Reddit flailing for anything to distract the community.
Might as well sneak a sign for Lemmy into there and use the unhappiness at Reddit to spread the news.
