    The threadiverse feels as active as usual imho. We still can’t really attract non-early adopters (i.e. privacy and FOSS enthusiasts), but the next reddit exodus is inevitable at some point.

      I dunno, look at all that the Musk does to X (or better yet, don’t) but then people remain stuck on that platform, held hostage by the network effect or whatever other reason. Enshittification has progressed far enough that Lemmy is not well regarded on Reddit, a fact enhanced by posts talking about it being removed. People may be cutting back on Reddit, but they do not seem to be bringing those discussions here. Perhaps people are discoursing more IRL rather than social media.

        Or Facebook, Facebook groups are massively popular

            FB is still where the normies are, if you want to stay marginally up-to-date on status of family and whatnot without actually talking to them…you do that on facebook

            I guess people leave Reddit for all different reasons, or mostly it’s about new users starting with Facebook groups instead of Reddit
