But what we forget is that not long ago Lemmy was very empty at least in my experience. So I left for some period, but when I came back July this year it was just completely changed. And it stayed this way, I don't need reddit anymore personally

I'm contributing because I'm a bit of a meme repository and I get a more positive reception here than I do on Reddit.

Lemmy is in a healthy state.

Still on Lemmy exclusively, but it's not my first time using a reddit alternative. This is normal. A large influx of users when reddit fucks up, but some slowly migrate back. Until reddit fucks up again. The problem is none of the alternatives survive long term.

The Fediverse has been around for a couple of years now and it's an open protocol rather than just a single organization, so I'm liking its odds better than most.

Traditionally, the alternatives to Reddit were worse than Reddit. This is the first time that that is no longer true.

You can also make an argument that Reddit was the improved version of Digg. History can repeat itself if the Fediverse proves to a superior model.

How many people made 2-3 accounts to compensate for outages? Less outages means less alts being active .

Of course that won't accout for the whole amount of people leaving, but I bet if we could get that metric it wouldn't seem near as bad
