    It’s a tiny migration to be fair. I seem to recall that the number of Reddit users using third party apps was very small. Most Reddit users haven’t been affected by the change.

      Percentage doesn’t really matter. A very small percentage of redditors actually created content or commented. So if most of the “small amount” of users who left were mostly content creators and commenters that would be extremely disruptive to the site. Lurkers don’t matter when it comes to user numbers.

      Haven’t been affected *yet. Doesn’t matter what app you use if mods are fewer, demotivated, and working with shittier tools.

      I mean, hell I used the official app and I’m still here. 12 year account on Reddit down the drain.

      It’s hard to get hold of precise statistics but most (honest) attempts at quantifying it end up at around 10+% of total Reddit users. So we’re potentially talking 10s of millions of MAUs (monthly active users).

      Definitely significant when compared to current Lemmy numbers
