Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy? (self.asklemmy)

Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

Yeah, 90% of the users don't care about the drama but also they don't make most the content. The people starting subreddits and doing the work to get them popular do care and they're coming over here, same with the bot coders and app makers.

Going forward a lot of interesting stuff is going to be here rather than Reddit, the more that continues the more likely it is average uses will have an account on both which will grow into them getting more involved here and eventually forgetting about Reddit.

Reddit hasn't been killed instantly but it's shot in the leg and bleeding out...
