I’m mainly there to check out the Lemmy and Reddit alternatives subs.
It appears to be only about 5%. There is growth again, but how much is bots is the question. There seemed to be high volumes of new bots trying to follow active users there around the time of the blackouts.
I have to wonder how aware the average user is that there has been a successful middle here.
There seem to be some low level brigading against all alternatives. I’m not convinced that the majority of the ‘no good apps, Lemmy is hard, communities too small’ posts there are authentic. Some are from low karma accounts, and don’t seem to actually want to take suggestions or assistance to resolve their issues.
I’m also finding there is low tolerance on many subs for commenting that Reddit alternatives exist or that discussions are happening elsewhere.
At this point, I suspect that it will be commercial media attention on Lemmy’s growth that will be the main way that the average Redditer becomes aware that Lemmy is a functioning alternative. Reviews in tech magazines will come, but references in mainstream business and tech news will increase with Lemmy’s footprint.
