Reddit users lost?
Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?
Any resources would be greatly appreciated.
As a sidenote, I'll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn't use RiF anymore.

Eventually but at the moment most users are using both Lemmy and Reddit but soon the quality of content will shift from reddit to Lemmy and that will be the end of reddit. Post quality memes, questions and answers to kill reddit quickly
Uhhh, about that...
*hides beans*
imagines himself as an old man, picking at his ears "Ay? Wassat? Post quality beans?" Shrugging, and humbling under my breath while going to the cupboard to take a photo... "Not sure how that'll help, but I'll do me best."
I hadn’t saved a meme from Reddit in a looooong time.
Joined lemmy July 1st and have been filling my phone with memes.
This place seriously reminds me of old Reddit. We don’t need a huge influx of users. Maybe just a few more but it’s pretty much perfect as is.
this ^^. even if we peel off 5% in a relatively even scrape across all the interests that's enough content for me to scratch the itch daily.
Generally I agree, but one of the things that was actually pretty cool about reddit were the smaller niche subs.
Some of them though were just too niche and small and thus pretty dead even with Reddits huge userbase.
And while I am pretty optimistic in general, I am a bit afraid that it will be harder to find active communities for niche interests if Lemmys userbase were to stay the current size.
But hey let's stay positive and active here and spread the word and we can grow into the perfect size, which doesn't necessarily need to be reddit-behemoth size.
