I’ve tried looking online but I’m not savvy enough to find a good answer. I haven’t been on Reddit since June 30, and am interested in seeing the number of people who have migrated. I know the Reddit user base is huge, so idk if it has been enough to hurt the site. Fuck spez.

The Threadiverse (Lemmy & kbin) had less than 10k active users before June. Now there's more than 126k active users. It doesn't mean that they all left Reddit, but at least that they are active here since Reddit fucked things up.

What sucks is that’s barely a dent in their numbers.

Bigger than you think.

Most people who moved over are more likely to be contributors.

Only like 1% of redditors ever interact with the platform.

Instead of looking at ‘how much they lost’ think about ‘how much we gained’. This event has started the network effect for Lemmy.

Absolutely a good idea to focus on Lemmy's gains. A viable competitor is up and running now, so Reddit will have to compete or perish.
