Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?
I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

Right now, you DO need multiple accounts. Instances are down all the time, federation either breaks or is intentionally broken through defederation even between relatively large instances, ... it gets tedious.
That's just growing pains from a sudden mass migration, the hug of death if you would.
User base growing organically over time will make this happen less and less.
Lemmy as a software will get more sophisticated, the people running the software will get more used to how things operate and be able to buy more/better hardware, etc..
Right now things are just a bit chaotic from thousands of people jumping ship at the same time.
People don't care about it being growing pains or what will happen, they're trying it now.
And people will try it in the future when it is a better experience, too. Both things can happen, I promise you.
I feel like I haven't seen enough of that happening in the past though. Can you share some examples of where you'd seen it? Maybe Steam? No Man's Sky?
What other apps debuted early to a poor public reception that got people to come back and try it again and successfully change their minds?
Lemmy now has over an average of a million posts a day up from 300k a month ago. It’s experiencing massive massive growth NOW despite no venture capital being thrown at it. I don’t know why you are asking about sleeper hits when you are literally posting on one. EDIT: I’m an idiot. Misinterpreted the “1 million posts” post from yesterday as a daily total not a cumulative lifetime total.
This isn’t my experience.
I usually hate this response.. But I haven't had any issues, this is bizarre to hear for me.
