Just in case anyone here was wondering how Reddit's numbers are looking these days...

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Probably depends on the audience. Discord for some, a bit of Lemmy, people maybe went back to old school forums too.
Yes exactly, much of the people who left leddit have scattered across a multitude of social media / content aggregators.
tiktok/insta/lemmy/kbin/bluesky/etc. there are so many, it blows my mind when people say "why then has lemmy not exploded?" without recognizing there are many many lemmy instances and many many MORE alternatives. It's not just a reddit or lemmy decision lol
And even with Lemmy being the vast majority of my replacement, I'm commenting less. The amount and depth of quality here isn't the same, and that prompts less discussion.
But here you are prompting me! It is smaller here, that’s true. I’ve been commenting just about as much as I did before (12yr/2k), but I take issue with the latter point. I was just reading the recent thread on the double slit science experiment and there are smrt people here too (certainly not me, of course) with depth/breadth of knowledge just like the before place. That’s my take anyway. I browse All a ton too.
The biggest thing I’ve experienced is that there are more forthright folks here and fewer trolls. Though I do still see too many combative and/or simple ashholes. Those are the ones that prevent engagement for me. Wrestling with a pig and all that.
I don't know, I find that in Lemmy I can have better discussions than on Reddit. It isn't the same as Reddit ~5-6 years ago but it's definitely better than post-apicalypse Reddit, or maybe even post-covid years.
there is another site what the Reddit is Fun creator is gonna port their app for
