    I think it is very plausible that the numbers only appear to be back to normal. I agree probably nothing will change but at the very least I am not using reddit any more - and I feel like I have seen a similar sentiment from other users of Lemmy/kbin.

      Yeah, I think at this point, regardless of what happens on Reddit, Lemmy/KBin seem to have a decently active base and speaking only for myself, I’m not planning on even lurking on Reddit … the most I’ll do is hit a link that I find on Google or that gets linked elsewhere.

      For me, there is plenty of new content popping up in the Fediverse to keep me interested, I’d just like too see more people commenting. Then, I realize I need to be the change I want to see, so am attempting to become more active than I was on Reddit and actively engage in more conversations (ex: this post :-D ).

        That isn’t the way the Internet works. If the 220k lemmy users were the most active out of the 800m, then reddit is basically dead.

        In all fairness- I kind of want a bunch of the reddit users… to STAY on reddit, away from lemmy.

        The conversation quality recently on reddit has went WAAAY down.

        How much of that growth happened over the last few weeks vs it’s lifetime though compared to Reddit?
