Even if they lose 50% (unlikely) the changes they make will still be more lucrative for them. The people who leave are probably not their most profitable demographic in the first place. The new API fees will easily make up for that. Twitter was the same .. as much as people predicted it's demise it's more profitable now than it ever was.
I'm just hugely happy and grateful to the people behind Lemmy whose hard work and unselfish behavior allowed us all to benefit.
User caps might be a good way to decentralize and ensure that we don't end up with just a few mega-instances. If there were a page showing available instances with percent of max users then people could use that when selecting.
Since communities (aka subreddits) are hosted on different servers (instances) I thought I would need a separate account on each instance to be able to post them (kept getting "not logged in" message).
Once I actually read the instructions everything was good. One account (choose the instance you want) and then use search .. but you must enter the remote instance url exactly as written.. no wildcats or anything.
TIL a new verb
I spent a few hours searching for communities that matched my reddit subs. So far there's not too much there but I'll certainly try to do my part to change that.

I closed my Facebook account in 2016 and haven't looked back. Hoping I feel the same about Reddit
Nope. Only thing I get is a headache when I don't have any coffee
