Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.

Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.

    I wonder if the “400,000 comments per day” and “2 questions per second” figures are still true (if they ever were).

      Those numbers are likely only mildly inflated. Advertisers would raise hell if they were off significantly. Now, how many are Reddit personnel or bots? That’s the real question.

      Unfortunately, there are many people still on Reddit. I predict that this is going to be like the Twitter migration, where more and more people join alternatives with every bad decision the company makes

        I used to be the only one of my friends that use reddit. Around the start of the pandemic some of my more “normie” (for lack of a better term) friends started signing up as well.

        I think a lot of the old guard has left/is on the verge of leaving, but I don’t think there’s any shortage of new users that don’t know what a 3rd party app is, only ever used new reddit, etc.
