Reddit

I did that too and don't regret it ;)

I'm Spartacus!

37

Some number, likely greater than 0.

I did.

I did. Haven't visited reddit since Sync stopped working. Should probably drop by and delete my account.

I'll follow a relevant search result, but I have not browsed it since coming over here.

top six hours page is very good

Dropped it on mobile for lemmy but still use desktop.

Dropped fully, not yet. But I am smoothly porting over more and more of my usage to Lemmy.

This is actually an interesting question. First thing to note is that any estimation is by accounts, not by actual people (one person can have multiple alts on both). Honestly I don’t think it’s possible to have meaningful estimation.

That said, I think the first task is to figure out if we can estimate the number of accounts deleted on Reddit during the controversial period (let’s say April when the API change was starting) up til now.

I’m not aware whether there’s public daily data on it from Reddit, but there have been attempts at archiving reddit during this time and of course before. So one can theoretically use the archives to find out “all” existing users. And check the links now via browser (or curl) to see if they still exist, treat that as a good-enough proxy for deleted account.

One may get an estimate of when they were deleted by checking the links in the archives if possible. If not, there’s also Wayback machine that we may use to get a sense, but there are limitations of that.

Lemmy tracks account registration daily, I believe. I don’t know what stats one needs to run but maybe if we can line up the time series of account creation on Lemmy and account deletion on Reddit, we might have some sense of what a lower bound is for those who jumped ship forever.

i go through phases, around the blackout it was 100% lemmy, then like 25% lemmy, but lately i'm getting really fed up with reddit so it's like 90% lemmy

I miss some of the content but certainly not Reddit the company.

I still look at Reddit daily. There's insufficient niche content here for it to be a reddit replacement unless you're only into memes, linux, or radical left politics. I'll be happy to make the switch complete when there are communities active enough to replace the ones on reddit.

Well it went from ~1400 active users to ~69k users in <1 mo, according to fedidb.org
