Reddit probably hasn’t even noticed the drop in traffic. Lemmy is a very niche site that is a peanut compared to Reddit unfortunately. I don’t see it becoming mainstream any time soon because it’s too complicated to understand for the average Joe.

This isn’t a bad thing though

Sorry for an unrelated question, but I have a doubt about instances. If I have this username and email for lemmy.world, can I use the same username and email for another instance? When I tried creating an account with these credentials on kbin.social, it didn't work and said those values were taken.

You don't need to create another account, just search/click on the communities you're interested in from your own instance and subscribe to them.

Yes, you can use the same credentials on any other Lemmy instance. I've done this with 4 instances so far. There may be a chance your username is taken, but if you create accounts on the larger instances you should be good since the smaller user bases of the smaller instances probably won't mean that you'll be targeted.

Thanks! It worked. I had to go and follow a lot of communities again though.
