So What Now? What's Going On In Reddit? (self.asklemmy)

submitted 1 year ago by CaptManiac to c/asklemmy

39 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Now that the two day shutting down of many thousands of subreddits is over, what is happening now? How many are remaining closed? Are others just going back to normal? What is the prospects of any significant change happening now?

I've set my pihole to reject reddit.com and I'm committed to using Lemmy, but I do miss the old Reddit.

Hate to be that person, but the lemmyverse has about 160k people as of this morning. If you include Mastodon it's millions, but they aren't likely to interact as much with lemmy users.

[–] CaptManiac 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously? Where do you get this number? I believe the lemmy.world admin said they had 100k users yesterday.

[–] lynny 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they said that then it changes things. I'm going off this tracker

https://the-federation.info/platform/73

It could just be lagging behind whatever lemmy.world mentioned, things are moving so fast that a few hours can make a world of difference.

You're giving me some more hope.

[–] CaptManiac 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm sure I have misremembered. No one's near the 100k number.

I think it's interesting that despite lemmy.world having less users than lemmy.ml it has way more active users. Something to do with improved stability?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I saw the 100k number yesterday too being attributed to an instance but I think that was counting all users across all Lemmy instances not just lemmy.ml or .world.

[–] Ectra 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm still very new to this. What makes Mastodon different from Lemmy instances?

[–] lynny 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know the technical details, but Mastodon's software is designed to be Twitter-like, while Lemmy is reddit-like.

My understanding is that Mastodon happens to support posting to lemmy, but not the other way around. The server software is different as far as I'm aware.
