Wow, I’m surprised that there wasn’t a bigger dip during the blackout. This shows how mainstream Reddit has become, and there’s a lot of momentum for people to stay there. But we don’t need to get hundreds of millions over to Fedi, just enough to have quality discussions. I’m more interested in seeing the continuation of the growth curves for Lemmy and others!
I'm curious to see what happens when the 3rd party apps shut down. Most people I know that use them are just waiting on them to shut down before they change their habits.
Also, it's not going to change overnight. I suspect the quality of Lemmy/Kbin will keep rising while the quality of Reddit keeps declining. This will gradually shift where people go for their link aggregations.
Yup, still been browsing reddit but when rif is off I'll be off too
When people rage-quit Twitter, it was like 2M - they absolutely flooded Mastodon, but it's not really significant to Twitter. Reddit also lost 1-2M of a similar user base: absolutely flooded Lemmy & kbin; minimal effect on Reddit.
API access seems like it will be a much bigger deal - not only the people that use 3rd party apps, but the propaganda & spam bots as well.
Yeah I don't need Lemmy to go mainstream it's already plenty for me the way it is.
It’s a good though. Reddit doesn’t need to fail for Lemmy to succeed.
I just updated the post since it was missing data from 8-9 June. With this the dip seems a bit lower, but we can't know for sure since there is no more historic data reaching further back to my knowledge
Though, I do kinda like the way it is rn. I mean, I hope for more communities & content someday. But, the vibe here is so calm & courteous atm. Like the best & kindest ppl are here now.
Idk.. I like all you guys, ig. Lol. It's just nice rn 😌
Agreed! Everyone is chill here, it’s not just a bunch of karma whores, bots, and assholes dominating everything.
It's so chill. The askKbin threads are full of such honest answers at the moment, not something trying to always be a joke or make a pun.
Exactly, I miss some of the smaller communities here but I don't miss having subreddits with hundreds of thousands of people. Besides, reddit is only going to get worse, if the fediverse continues to get better eventually people will move over. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
A vast majority of my posts on Reddit about their decision to remove 3rdPA was met with a "who cares?!"-type of response.
Me too, barely any of my subscribed subs stayed open during those first few days, effectively making reddit unusable to me, and I refused to /all or /frontpage so I could have expected a much shaper drop
