So 100 times bigger, by your own estimate?
They created a new community, sure. The reddit community didn't migrate though.
Less than 100 times. That was a high estimate. Top post in the past 24h has like 900 upvotes, that means 9 times at a bare minimum estimate.
And no one expected the whole community, or even a majority, to move to Lemmy. There was a (partial) migration, and to the end user it doesn’t mean that much if their post is viewed by 100 or 1000 people. A hundred people are plenty to just discuss a tv series.
So if a poster from the Star Trek Lemmy moves to Facebook Groups and brings along a small fraction of the userbase, is it fair to say the Star Trek Lemmy community migrated to Facebook?
I’d say it’s fair to say “there has been a migration” from Lemmy to Facebook, in that case.
It’s not like the definition itself matters though, the important thing is the end user experience and that’s pretty much been replicated with a community of that size.
