Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?

I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better.

Thanks!

I don't have hard numbers, just loose ones. From what I've read Reddit had about 400 million daily active users. From what I know only about one or two million users are on Lemmy. Now that's a massive jump from where it was just a few months ago, but it's a drop in the hat.

If my information is even remotely correct that's less than 1%.

Quality has dropped a lot. Because the users who used and created content the most used 3rd party apps. Their absence has decreased the quality of reddit a lot.

Also a lot of moderators who decide to stop or at least reduce their moderation activity allows for more crap.

Yeah, I find the content stagnates more and spend hardly any time now.
