Reddit is doing the Fediverse a huge favor - eviltoast

Attached: 1 image Signs of the #RedditMigration in action: Three of the top 6 fastest growing #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers. That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength. #Kbin #Lemmy #FediDB @fediversereport@mastodon.social @fediversenews@venera.social @fediverseobserver@fediverse.one

While I don’t expect there’s going to be any meaningful impact on Reddit once the dust settles, I do think this will bring a lot of new users to the Fediverse.

Reddit losing a few hundred thousand users is a drop in a bucket given their user base, but it is a significant boost for us.

    The individual instances doesn’t really matter. What is actually shown in the picture is that fediverse grew by 200k users.

      It actually does matter for the individual instances because the amount of content and interactions grows regardless which server users join because servers federate with each other. This is a fundamentally different dynamic from commercial walled gardens where each platform competes for users with every other.
