Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

No idea, and I don't care. What matters for me is that there are enough people on Lemmy to keep it interesting.

How in the bloody hell are those characters in a username?!

I fucking love it, my guy!

Exactly. We don't need Reddit to fail, we just need Lemmy (or Kbin, I don't discriminate) to succeed.

This is a much healthier mindset, and I completely support this. I don't actually want to see a mass migration to Lemmy because it would just instantly replicate a lot of the same issues that Reddit had. Slower, organic, and well scaled growth is wholly preferable to a massive swarm of users. I also think the general quality of users on Lemmy is currently about 10,000% higher than on Reddit, and I would - selfishly - like to see it stay that way.
