They seem to be holding up better than I thought they would.

Better than anyone imagined, really; I thought this place would be down for days.

Maybe it just means the migration was smaller than we thought…

In terms of percentage, the use here has increased by a wide margin.

If I remember correctly, Reddit’s app was first on the IOS App Store before the whole API debacle. So we can assume that a significant percentage of users are using the official app and being brainwashed by Reddit’s ads to keep the shareholders happy.

They wanted to bring the rest of users into the fold. It’s good to see that so many didn’t and came here instead.

Well, Lemmy has well over 2m users at this point. I expected lots of the larger ones to get hit harder than they did as well, especially because per instance, lemmy only scales vertically. There’s also no cache to my knowledge

It’s a tiny migration to be fair. I seem to recall that the number of Reddit users using third party apps was very small. Most Reddit users haven’t been affected by the change.

I mean, hell I used the official app and I’m still here. 12 year account on Reddit down the drain.

Percentage doesn’t really matter. A very small percentage of redditors actually created content or commented. So if most of the “small amount” of users who left were mostly content creators and commenters that would be extremely disruptive to the site. Lurkers don’t matter when it comes to user numbers.

Haven’t been affected *yet. Doesn’t matter what app you use if mods are fewer, demotivated, and working with shittier tools.

It’s hard to get hold of precise statistics but most (honest) attempts at quantifying it end up at around 10+% of total Reddit users. So we’re potentially talking 10s of millions of MAUs (monthly active users).

Definitely significant when compared to current Lemmy numbers

Definitely slower and more timeouts, but still doing pretty well. I’m sure it will improve as we go.

This was a great discovery for me. I love the federated system. Look, you can’t ask for decentralization while also demanding a centralized community. This system works a lot for me. Yes, i know there is also the issue of some communities closing and getting “defederized” but regardless I prefer a system that will be resilient and not compromised by a CEO or shareholders bs. I prefer my data to be disposable and spread throughout multiple private servers than under one big fucking corporation

Good thing about the Fediverse is that some instance out there isn’t crashing, so there’s a chance that some less popular instance will just catch some of those users instead!
