As of Q4 of 2023, reddit claimed 36.4 million logged-in ‘daily active’ users. An increase from Q3 of 2023 with a count of 34.7 million. Not sure of the accuracy of user counts for lemmy, but good estimate is about 450,000 total users over it’s entire lifespan, if every single one of those was a reddit convert, we’d still be a minor blip. I don’t know if we have 2024 numbers that are comparable, but most stats indicate that reddit is likely still growing.
Spez predicted what would happen in that protest with almost 100% accuracy and most mods involved didn’t follow through and backed down. Some are trying to build something new and that’s worth pursuing but we lost that fight.
I do have to wonder how many of those millions of users are bots. Browsing /r/all, you can find plenty of weird pseudopornographic subreddits like /r/ReallyGorgeous, which are populated by literally thousands of bots upvoting and commenting on fake selfies posted by the most obviously stolen accounts. Report these accounts all you want, the admins don’t care.
Oh it’s really simple. You will have been removed as a moderator for defacing Reddit content. Reddit will then ban you. Aunt reinstate their authority and make sure that their user base has full access to their content . Remember next time to not be a pesky little shit . How dare you try to block spaz and his followers from accessing content that you created but they own . /S Ask me how I know
No. Too many users were used to the trash official app because that’s how many of them came to find Reddit because of the app’s release.
Can’t know what you’re missing if you never experienced it.
But honestly that’s partly why Reddit was going down the tubes when all these Facebook folk started coming to “that new app Reddit” and treating it like Fb 2.0 so it was for the best for the rest of us to leave and find alternatives.
So, did Reddit lose a considerable amount of user base since then or not?
Not really. They’re sort of succeeding. They just became profitable, I think, for the first period ever.
Got more users on Lemmy though, including me, so that’s a win in my book.
Yes, Reddit is way more mainstream now than ever. My grandparents talk about it.
It’s occasionally mentioned in movies, series and animation.
Ngl, i was expecting many more people to leave Reddit. The outrage was almost palpable. Big subreddits going private and all.
Most vocal users are a minority. Commenters already are what, 1% of users? 90-9-1
Where are bots in that equation?
Are you counting the 14 of us that came over to Lemmy and stayed considerable?
From a statistics standpoint, definitely not.

Lol, I blacked out my sub and then never returned. Not sure what happened to it, but reddit is so god awful I don’t even bother trying to check.

Depends on what you mean by that. A small fraction left but it was sizable enough for Lemmy to become my home.
