How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends? (lemmy.world)

I don't mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I'm curious about people's outlook on this situation.

Edit: Wow this blew up!

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can't believe this made /r/all!

Edit 4: We did it ~~Reddit!~~ Lemmy!

i expect a much crappier reddit 6 months from now. i won't be able to use reddit without old.reddit and res.

re lemmy, i'm so confused and overwhelmed by it. i wish there was a lingo and activity converter between reddit and lemmy.

Huh, i'm personally a bit underwhelmed, mostly because of the lack of new content, but I expect it to improve. The way I use Lemmy is that i have the jerboa app, i'm logged in to lemmy.world and I have it set to All so I get content from other instances as well i guess

thanks for the tip. i'm thinking of lemmy as a bunch of small subreddits.

I think the real killer will be all the mods leaving when the changes take effect. The official apps literally don't have all of the tools they need to moderate, and since Reddit has been promising to add those things for years (without actually doing it), I don't think they will.

that's good for lemmy. maybe some of the reddit mods will become lemmy mods.
