I thought that too. And then nothing happened when Reddit killed third party apps. The Reddit userbase will continue to bend and spread. As long as Spez spits on it first, they’ll continue to take it.
I’m not quite sure that’s true. Maybe in raw numbers, but we’re a living, breathing base of contributing users helping to keep a whole platform and community alive. It doesn’t matter if the Federation isn’t purely made up of former Reddit users as we’ve assimilated. Every contribution we make on this platform is one more that the last one doesn’t get. Votes, posts, comments, it’s all here and not there. I would very much like us to get to the size where the sports subs are active during game threads, but we’re still having an impact.

We’re all here aren’t we?
I’m glad you could make it! I don’t really care personally whether 100 people or 100 million people are using Reddit. It’s dead and gone to me now.
And we’re a drop in the bucket compared to the Reddit userbase. A rounding error. Some impact we made.
So “wahhh it has to be everyone, immediately, at all once, 100% replacement!”
Dude, new product is in the market and going on fine.

I can live without the sports subs. In fact Lemmy feels a lot like how Reddit felt around 2010. I wouldn’t mind keeping it small like this.

Eh. It’s got impact enough on my life - I don’t use Reddit anymore.
That’s okay though.
Depends who you ask. Reddit likely didn’t notice any difference, but I’d say the difference on Lemmy is quite drastic.
Yes. When you moved, everyone else did too. We’re all NPCs in your RPG.
Well that’s not true. Reddit is definitely different than it was at the start of the year
Not only that, but the insistence on seeing everything as zero-sum is fucking ridiculous.
“Well we didn’t even take down a massive corporation with an install base of hundreds of millions!! Hmph. Why even bother ☹️”
How old are these people? Are they for real? Lol
It’s probably still growing, losing old users and gaining others, to become about as interesting as Facebook has been for over 10 years now.
