      Reddit has been crappy for years now, and a lot of people have wanted to leave but didn’t have anywhere to go. Now that there’s somewhere else, people will continue to trickle out as they get tired of it. It doesn’t need to all happen at once – in fact, reddit doesn’t need to shut down. It just needs viable alternatives with a critical community mass, and we’re there now.

        and we’re there now.

        And, just thing- give it a few months (and a lot more contributors / developers…) and this platform can become REAL competition for reddit.

        As I see it currently though, there are a lot of unresolved issues before it becomes more mainstream. But, hey, I have posted here almost exclusively today, other then telling a few redditors about lemmy,.

          There’s a private subreddit I’m a member of that I’ll probably stick around for a while on. It’s one where they kick people out if they don’t participate for a week, so I’ll have an interesting sample of how many active redditors are leaving.

        Exactly. The explosion of users in the last week, caused by them, has cemented that. It will get exponentially worse come July 1st.
