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.
So, did Reddit lose a considerable amount of user base since then or not?
Are you counting the 14 of us that came over to Lemmy and stayed considerable?
There are dozens of us!
There must be quite a few dozen of us!
Roughly 3685 dozens
Edit: minus the dozen or two that were here prior
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?
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.
Lemmy has 45.1 thousand logged-in daily active users.
Im one :)
Depends on what you mean by that. A small fraction left but it was sizable enough for Lemmy to become my home.
