So that's it r/newzealand? (lemmy.nz)

So, I see r/NZ is back. That's it? What an anemic protest. I guess I'm honestly surprised more people don't care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.

Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won't see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.

There could be another big bump when 3rd party apps shut down at the end of the month. If everything's going strong here at that point, we'll probably get a fair bit of growth.

Definitely another booster in growth. Many. Many people use 3rd party apps.

Including me. If I hadn't left during the blackout, I would've when they kill the app I used to use.

Without an app that users are already comfortable with, if Lemmy/Kbin is already on their radar, it’s not a giant leap to think that if they have to acclimate to a new app, that they would choose to do so with Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse

Yup, I've still got sync installed, but I'm not going to install the reddit app, I'm settling in on a home instance of kbin and am pretty happy so far, so don't think I'll be back to reddit for my daily fix
