How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy? - eviltoast

It is possible to estimate?

    I stopped using Reddit on my phone, which was most of my Reddit time, but I still use it on my PC.

    On mobile I exclusively browse Lemmy.

    I would totally migrate completely to Lemmy, but the general audience here is a bit too… radicalised for me. Sometimes I just want to relax, read some interesting link and interact in the comments.

      Exactly the same for me.

      I’ll add that there’s just less going on here. My front pages have new stuff about every day, but not more than that

      Check out the instances that have defederated with the radicalized ones? I hang out in 2 Lemmy instances, still working to finish migrating from here to the other.

      To some extent groups like Lemmy and Mastodon are self-selecting for activists. People who are fed up with stuff and want to seek change. We’re the people who see bad stuff happening and take action.

      Just being here makes us radicalised, a bit.
