Reddit

Here. I quit after so many subs went dark and they started kicking mods out. I‘m a mod on reddit myself and thats the only reason I open the app every couple of days, just to check my queue.

I did.

I think we can be reasonably accurate on how many people are using Lemmy/Kbin, but not on how many people are not using Reddit. Even how many people are actually using Reddit is less accurate as the data is locked away and estimated from other metrics.

If Reddit is going to IPO then accurate usage stats is the last thing it once, like any company it'll go for the most flattering numbers it can generate and push thatball the way.

I did.

top six hours page is very good

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

Haven't used reddit at all in a couple years. There was a point in there where I thought I would go back to it, made an account and curated a feed - but I only used it once before deciding it sucked and stopping.

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

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

i did personally

I would use this more of I could find a decent app. Any suggestions?

I have used it for about 10 minutes in total since June. I used to use it a ton more.

Not all communities I want to follow made the transition. I'm still on Reddit for HFY, and some smaller game communities.

But Lemmy has replaced a sizable chunk of my Reddit usage, especially around more technical topics.

I left and never looked back ever since.

+1 for me

I did

@danileonis me, add 1

37

sour was here ._.

I think that I am in some federated space connected to here from somewhere else. Or I don't know. But I quit socializing in that other place and socialize around here where I can see and communicate with yous peoples.

I pop over to reddit maybe 1-2 times a day for a few subs. My daily driver is lemmy though.

Me, Sync for Lemmy. Sync was reddit for me. Now ita Lemmy for me.

I left during the blackouts.

Me, I don't use Reddit just because I purely used Joey and never downloaded the official app.
