Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...
You're viewing a single thread.
Just have a look at the content there, it dropped a lot in quality.
As someone who only ever browsed all, I see no difference.
As a browser, I notice that Lemmy seems much more dynamic and engaging. It's small, weird and there appear to be all sorts of things going on in the corners which I didn't notice so much on reddit (they were probably there, but got overlooked die to sheer volume of content). I like the experience so far, reminds me of the early days of exploring the web.
The OC to porn ratio has shifted in favor of porn.
The real metric is the OC to bot ratio
Is that a problem?
Only if you don't want to see porn
Reddit probably got it's initial boost from porn that got it to where it is today
I lost all patience with low effort posts. I try to call out anyone asking easily google-able questions or clear karma baiting. It took a couple days of this to realize I needed take a long break from it. I'm debating keeping my account solely to get my karma up a bit more and trying to sell it, not sure yet.
For a bunch of the subs I frequented the mods just left. Some of those died, some are being taken over by right-wing extremists, some are still chugging along.
Interesting
