Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy? - eviltoast

Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…

    I think you are correct. Lemmy is really just gearing up at the moment, but can’t handle the volume to compete with reddit.

    The increase of instances, user guides, communities and third party apps are necessary building stones of a federated reddit alternative of size.

      God can you imagine the shit show if millions had tried to come at once this last time? We’d accidently ddos the fediverse to the stone age.

      Don’t forget the censorship of the power mods. That’s going to be fun here. Already you have swiss cheese in content depending on how tight your mods sphincter is.
