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.

    New users is not a good metric. Many people will create accounts just to check it out even if they dont stay.
    I’ve made multiple Lemmy accounts on different servers.

      sure, but it’s still an indicator of growth and some percentage of users does stay active
