Unfortunately, from what I'm seeing in a lot of subs, it's working. You do have protests from places like r/aww and r/pics doing the John Oliver thing, and r/Steam posting about literal steam. But it seems like on the large, threats of people losing their ability to give Reddit free labor is working to get subs back open.
Edit: r/pics changed, they've chosen total anarchy.
They are slowly snowballing but it's accelerating. Once a certain amount of people leaves or stops interacting altogether, the site bleeds activity and dies. Roughly 2% of people who went on Reddit were responsible for some 90% of the content. 50% of people browsed without an account (you want those because they're the eyeballs ad are meant for) and the rest were lurkers who occasionally commented. That means if that even half of that 2% of content creators leave, there's no more content for the rest of the users to see or interact with. Once they leave, all lurkers leave. None of the lurkers are going to take up posting to Reddit, modding or create an account. They will just close the tab and move on to something else. That's the snowball that's coming.
(Numbers are roughly remembered from an old analysis of Reddit traffic, but they're consistent with almost all social media)
Responding solely to move from Reddit lurker to a Lemmy contributor.. this is literally the secret right here.. join the revolution, hit the effing reply button, y'all..
Okay, reply button hit. Now what?
Do we get party hats?
No, but you get a reply from a different stranger and that's the microdose of dopamine we all live for.
livin' for those brain slushies
Hey I am sorry you have to learn it this way, but yes, you do get a party hat too. I got my right here.
Please don't attack me personally like this

If we did, we could be rich in RuneScape
I did not know it was so low. That's crazy. It makes sense though. I don't know anyone who posts in real life. All the people I know who use Reddit are just lurkers.
I was a prolific poster for years. In the end it just felt like screaming into the void.
Just think in terms of the not 'in your face' subs. Memes/pics and such were easy to make a post and it either goes up or goes down, but most other subs would need a little more thought/time for a post to be made.
I was a member of a 2-4 million subreddit, and I think there were only about 20-40 posts a day. Some repetitive posts were removed by the mod bot that you would occasionally see, so maybe a few more than those 20-40, but even the most prolifically engaged-with comment sections would max out around 400 comments.
On a sunny day walking on a trail, one can't help but to contemplate all they are going to do when they are out of the woods and back home. By that point all they are going to remember is the thinly veiled threat. They are not going to last long.
Reddit was fun. That was really the only thing everyone need and everyone want. All the utilities that comes with the scale is just derivatives. With the way they decide to go forward, modding for reddit will never be fun ever again.
