It is possible to estimate?

I left as soon as the news dropped, didn't wait for it to happen.

I quit when Joey for Reddit finally got taken down.

Honestly, the people here seem kinder and more intelligent, even if I don't agree with what they're saying.

I'm about 1% as active on Reddit as I used to be. I unsubbed from most of the subreddits I used to follow. I only stick around for a few communities that haven't moved to other platforms, but I make an effort to not comment or post nearly as often as before.

Crazy what happens when you kill the tool that 99% of my use of your platform was done through, huh, Spez?

Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.

Another ex-Apollo user here. The only thing I miss is the Stable Diffusion subreddit. If everyone there would come here, Lemmy would be perfect

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yep. Deleted my account and all previous comment and post history. Haven't gone back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Deleted my two main accounts and I think 3 alts that I could still remember, and haven't been back since. I can't use social media without Sync.

The only thing I go on Reddit for now at the moment is to browse their comic sub once every now and then.

But that's not completely dropping Reddit. Because Lemmy/Kbin is still in its early stages there'll be a lot of people who spend most of their time here but occasionally go to Reddit for that one sub or for some particular thing that's not quite made it here yet.

Me! Admittedly I still do use Reddit occasionally for particularity niche subreddits but I do enjoy Lemmy a lot more!

I don't know how you could track uninstalls outside of informal polls. I'd consider myself as having fully dropped Reddit for Lemmy, but on occasion I'll follow a link on Lemmy to the Reddit site.

Monthly active users gives a rough estimate but doesn't account for people registering on multiple servers and alt accounts (and of course we can't forget the occasional toxic spammer). But subtracting that from Reddit traffic barely puts a dent in it.

I think Reddit will stay a similar size or continue to grow a bit, but overall quality of it has been circling the drain for a while now. I don't think the IPO is going to help at all with that, only make it worse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I did, completely. I don't spend as much time on Lemmy as I used to on Reddit, but I net more enjoyment out of the experience.

I switched the day after Boost went dark. The only times I go on Reddit are when I Google something and a reddit link comes up. Lemme definitely isn't a 1:1, but I kinda like it more because the user base seems better quality. I've made more posts/comments in my few months on Lemmy than I did in my few years on Reddit.

My Reddit account is there laying dormant, I've signed out and don't even look at the moderation queue.

It's a bit harder to estimate because it's global and no matter where you are goong to ask, you will ask a specific bubble but with enough time, money and people you can do that. In my case I would ask to make a University project out of it.
