Not sure if this is the right place to post, but when the reddit protests were happening, I used Lemmy for a bit then decided to detox from "social media" for a while till now. Am I misinterpreting the activity here?

The other thing is that I recall that kbin.social exploded and got a huge chuck of the exodus - but now that it's been effectively dead for half a year, those users mostly seem to have vanished.

A fraction clearly did migrate to other mbin and lemmy instances. It seems like the rest did not return to spez's site from what I'm hearing ("all the posts I'm seeing there are complaining that only bots are active here") but I'm not sure where they went. But for example, one person I was following seems to have dropped off entirely from the fediverse and all social media.

I migrated from kbin. My experience on the instance I am using has been different, but I wasn't a big user before. I actually feel like there are more posts on some major areas now than a year ago summer, but I dont know about wholesale usage.

We get a few 100+ proper discussion threads daily and people sharing goof information a lot of times. Kinda like what reddit used to be.

Early on all was getting spammed endlessly with meme reposts.

Thanks for sharing. I was never actually a reddit member, but I was a long time viewer. I probably don't really know what reddit was like. Not as a member. I still use that one forum, but mostly I view here.
