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.
Lemmy posts used to get like 30 upvotes max. I remember a few years ago one of the Lemmy devs made a post talking about the future of Lemmy and it got 120 upvotes over the course of a month.
Seeing posts of beans get 1/10th the upvotes as the front page of /r/All without the bots makes me wonder if Lemmy actually took a bite sized chunk out of Reddit, and they did it with chump change servers too
Well there’s no question more people were on the threadiverse on the 1st July onwards. My little corner of the threadiverse was getting around 3x or more the normal server to server messages. The bigger instances of lemmy and kbin were struggling under the pressure.
And since then it’s been busy compared to before (I think at least). But that doesn’t mean people aren’t doing both.
