The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I'd like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit
I really don't understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They've made it clear with their words and actions that they don't give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who've decided to abandon the ship and join us here.
A lot of people have already left Reddit Fuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.
And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what's going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.
In short, it's unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.
The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don't think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.
Seems a good a thread as any for my first post. Exciting times. Reddit showing its true colours might well make the internet just a little bit of a better place if it helps the Fediverse take off.
Looking forward to some reddit app developer with a budget (just not as much of a budget as Reddit dreams of) during stepping in to give a better ui to this thing
I'm one of them (created this account 10 days ago, but had another one from 15 days ago when I finally decided to join Lemmy and wanted to test this, the other one is from an instance which has some blocked instances, so I came to Lemmy.world), I hope Lemmy grows a lot, not to compete with Reddit, but to build a big and diverse community where we don't need anything from Reddit (interesting and informative posts, guides, tutorials, etc for example).
Apollo refugee checking in, currently trying out WefWef.app. I’ve also been trying out Memmy over the past couple of weeks. Not sure which one I’ll end up sticking with yet.
Boost for reddit isn't off yet but it's just a matter of time. Setup this account today and downloaded jerboa. Trying to figure everything out but hopefully this isn't an echo chamber like reddit is.
