I’m curious about the normal numbers thing. I left the website (I needed to anyway, was obsessively checking it in my free time) and I figure there must be at least a few like me. So if that’s true, how could it be back to original numbers after such a fiasco?
Most users don’t know a fiasco happened, or care, really. You gotta remember your average user doesn’t comment at all and really just scrolls while upvoting posts every once in a while. Their engagement is far more casual.
I just wish everyone would quit trying to turn this into Reddit. We left Reddit because we don’t like what it is/is becoming. Let’s not rush to make this an identical copy, ya know?
I think it is very plausible that the numbers only appear to be back to normal. I agree probably nothing will change but at the very least I am not using reddit any more - and I feel like I have seen a similar sentiment from other users of Lemmy/kbin.
The next two weeks, to a month… is going to be a VERY INTERESTING time for reddit.
Knock on wood, lemmy is going strong, and I have been enjoying the content, and conversations here much better than I have been on reddit.
Sadly Reddit is back to it’s normal numbers and the subs are being activated again, so nothing will change for the better

It might be back to normal numbers, but that’s until the API charges kick in and apps like Infinity stop working or start not to be fre?

Lemmy/kbin has what 220k to reddits 800m
That isn’t the way the Internet works. If the 220k lemmy users were the most active out of the 800m, then reddit is basically dead.
In all fairness- I kind of want a bunch of the reddit users… to STAY on reddit, away from lemmy.
The conversation quality recently on reddit has went WAAAY down.
