Any thoughts on if there’s anything we can or even should do about that? There’s not much here.

    I wasn’t expecting a huge exodus of people yet. Especially from r/reformed. The content creators and mods of r/Reformed are still there.

    Whereas other large and general subs are losing their mods and/or content creators. There’s much more reason for them to switch to Lemmy.

    But… Give it time. Digg didn’t die overnight. It took a good year or so for many to make the switch to reddit.

    And reddit was really rough at the time.

      Yeah, it even lacked basic functionality like being able to paste text into a comment box. Oh wait… ;)

    I really dont think there is a need to push people on lemmy anymore. In terms of user experience of lemmy still isn’t as good as Reddit (although not by much imo). I think the best thing would be to focus on keeping everyone here, improving UX, and when the next Reddit crisis comes and people look for alternatives we will be ready and better than reddit. More people will stay that way.

    I expect the same movement that Mastodon had when Twitter was about to crash… not much. Different reasons but same vibes.

    Do you use Mastodon btw?

      I never loved Twitter. I tried to but I just don’t like the format.

      I gave Mastodon a try years and didn’t love it. But due to the whole fediverse thing, I’m giving it another try.

      I keep reading that twitter has died or is about to, but at least my corner of it looks the same as it always did

    My desktop Lemme states that there’s only 1 subscriber to this community. I assume that’s incorrect and/or a bug or just growing pains for Lemme?

    It took me a few days to finally get subscribed to this. I finally followed the instructions correctly to find this community using the search feature. It sure would be nice to move away from Reddit, especially after July 1st.

    I came from r/reformed and will check back more often. Plus I got a cool generic username here.
