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!

Yes, there's been a mass exodus, but while that term sounds like it means most reddit users have left, it just means a large group of them did. Certainly not most or all.
It's happening in waves. Evey time a big change happens, a group of users see that as the last straw and leave. This killing of second-party apps was my the last straw for me, while most users probably don't care enough to do that.
True. And while the comment section still gets several thousand participating, it'll keep people's attention.
One thing I miss is reading a comment section for over sn hour because it was almost endless entertainment. Hopefully Lemmy can provide some of that golden content.
For me as well. Third party app was the reason that made the use enjoyable. I'm curious how it will be when sync for lemmy is online. I think Mastodon and Lemmy will both grow, but it is organic growth so it will likely take years. Anyway I already like the community more here.
