How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

Migrations take time, it was never going to be a flick of a switch. Reddit content will slowly get worse and worse, and Lemmy content (or some other competitor) will get better and better as more people move. it’s those core users that generate great discussion that matter the most and those people are looking for somewhere else.

Don't have to be the biggest -just the most fun.

Bigness and funness are related in the case of social media, though. Reddit's size means that it can support a lot of niche subreddits that cater to very small slivers of their userbase. Some of those niche groups have been replicated in the Fediverse but they're mostly dead still - there aren't enough people here to actually generate the content and conversation needed.
