Attached: 1 image Signs of the #RedditMigration in action: Three of the top 6 fastest growing #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers. That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength. #Kbin #Lemmy #FediDB @fediversereport@mastodon.social @fediversenews@venera.social @fediverseobserver@fediverse.one

While I don’t expect there’s going to be any meaningful impact on Reddit once the dust settles, I do think this will bring a lot of new users to the Fediverse.

Reddit losing a few hundred thousand users is a drop in a bucket given their user base, but it is a significant boost for us.

    I’m seeing it the same way. We got a critical mass of not just users, but smart internet types.

    However the platform is still very raw. After the migration slows, it’s actually beneficial to have some time for the devs to patch things up to a level more suitable for normies.

    Then, with a solid core community and a functioning UX, we can begin to aggressively advertise the Fediverse via coordinated campaigns. It’s not going to happen overnight but there’s a clear path laid out before us.

      also laymen (normies) need to get used to the rules of how distribution works and not to expect a megacorporation to interfere

        That’s never going to happen. Capitalism runs too deep and the average person is too dumb. But we need to push them in the right direction
