  Yes. More than a little. It was a huge event for lemmy. Did you think the entire reddit userbase was going to switch in one week? Reddit didn’t get their userbase in one week. Everything in reddit looks shittier than it was before the exodus.

    I was not discussing anything to do with “switching”, I was discussing users leaving Reddit.

      If you’d like to post evidence that contradicts my source, please do. “Leaving” for a few days doesn’t count.

      Maybe they encountered so many charming people like you on Lemmy they had to go back to Reddit in case they turned nice?

      Would that mean they switched and switched back? Or left and re-joined?

        Ah yes, because we all know Reddit only has the nicest folks…

  There’s also no correlation between creating a Lemmy account and completely quitting Reddit.

    No, but it’s a reasonable assumption that individual will be spending less time on the platform, at the very minimum.

    Personally, I haven’t used Reddit on my phone since they killed third party apps, although I have used the desktop site for a few subreddits that don’t really exist here.
