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.

Too soon to say how the situation will evolve, first of all I would like to see if Reddit doesn't at least partially retrace its steps.

Not planning on going back. I very much prefer open software. Funny that if none of this API nonsense happened I might have never heard of lemmy. Glad to be here.

My only hope is that some more of the communities I enjoyed on Reddit move here, in some fashion.

It would really help the adoption of Lemmy if we get a 'multisub'-idea, that Reddit uses, where a user could bind multiple instances' communities together, and make it appear as one community.

(So I can bind all similar instances into one).

Regardless, I won't be going back to Reddit. If I stick around Lemmy, that's kind of up to how I enjoy this platform & usability, but I can be quite stubborn with my 'morals'. Once a platform is done for me, it is done lmao.

Most, but they'll always have Lemmy in their back pocket, which is the important part.

I think if the top Reddit third party apps developed a Lemmy app, that would genuinely help keep people here.

The "official" Lemmy apps right now are rough. They aren't terrible, but they are leagues behind any of the main Reddit apps.

Anime intros, but Madoka as well as the second intro of season 1 of Gundam 00. One of my favorite intros ever.
