95% will continue to use.
Overtime I think we'll continue to see the site self sabotage itself and lose users but it'll be many years before something like fediverse overtakes it in user count.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
Those are some optimistic numbers.
98% continue using, 1% stop, 1% move fediverse
Immediately upon the death of 3PA:
- 1% stop browsing
- 1% move to Lemmy
- 98% wonder what all the fuss was about
That said, 6 months down the line:
- 3% move to Lemmy
- 60% have forgotten about it entirely
- 37% have gradually stopped using Reddit as it grew into a bland, boring cesspool of spam and reposts
I think we'll see a healthy influx of users here, but ultimately reddit will chug along. However, I think over time it will just become a closed off, set in stone, extremely valuable database of human experience and perhaps reddit will rebrand itself in some way. Maybe in 20 years they'll be selling Reddit Encyclopedias door to door.
Reddit: Encyclopedia of Man (2010s)™️
Fediverse isn’t ready for that many users yet. There are bugs, front end is either entirely missing (kbin has no app) or missing features, and scaling issues. The non technical issues that I’ve seen so far - there just isn’t enough content. Half of “all” is still talking about reddit or lemmy.
The number of users that signed up for lemmy and kbin right now is just a rounding error to reddit. It’s a good start, but there’s a ways to go before this can replace reddit.
