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…

      /r/pics didn’t close, but probably doesn’t get the clicks it did before.

      /r/bestof seems to only make a daily protest post.

      I’ve stopped visiting so much, so I don’t know a lot, but those two seem significant.

          At time of posting, there are still 1922 subreddits that are private
          https://reddark.untone.uk/
          Or the 855 subreddits that have chosen to move to other platforms on sub.rehab
          But hey, if you don’t like it here, that’s fine, you don’t have to be here. If you’re that bored that you’re choosing to spend time flaming in a social media that you don’t enjoy, might I suggest some hobbies like video games, picking up an instrument, or underwater basket weaving.
          Cheers

            Underwater… basket weaving? (Wondering if this is a technique I hadn’t heard of for softening materials or suggesting one compromise their lung function 🤣)

              Why not both?
              Yeah, it’s usually done to soften the material, but I’m not responsible for anyone that misunderstands and incidentally drowns themselves 🙃
