        RES = Reddit Enhancement Suite. Was a firefox/chrome addon that extended Reddit functionality. I guess it’s probably still around, I’m just not on Reddit anymore

        And yeah, Reddits huge. I don’t know current stats but I think they had something like 430 million users before all the api drama. Not sure what it’s at now but would guess it probably still dwarfs all lemmy instances combined.

        Edit: one site (under the Reddit Users Stats link in the sidebar) claimed Reddit had about 330 million users as of 1 week ago (not sure how old their data is tho)

        Edit 2: if I’m looking at the right stats, then according to https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse

        It looks like Lemmy + Kbin instances together have about 583 thousand users (rounded up). I assume this doesn’t include users from blocked instances. And neither site’s stats factor in people having multiple logins. Clicking on the lemmy.world link on the same page, they estimate around 125 k users on lemmy.world

        … Same site says we only got 138 users… Not 138 k, just 138… 🥲
