Has Reddit won and what does that mean?
Has Reddit won and what does that mean?
What are people's thoughts on how Reddit is coming out of this so far? How bad have things been for Reddit? Do we know how much their traffic has dropped and would a drip in traffic even hurry them that much. Why don't we see talk of a new blackout at the end of the month?
You're viewing a single thread.
Wait 2 weeks, about 20-30% of reddit users use a third party application, 1 July most of them are going to wake up and find they can't, that's when the shoe will really drop.
This. I don't think the exodus has peaked yet. Nothing really changed to make people turn away, those of us who already found our way here, did so in anticipation of change. But that's not how people work, most people will only seek an alternative AFTER their default way of doing something has been taken from them.
The biggest wave is yet to come. (fediverse nodes plz no crash)
I know atleast one redditor who still uses it via RIF but is waiting for the 30th and is not sure what to do then and has expressed interest towards Lemmy when I've told about it.
Also still getting my last rounds of content theft in on reddit via Relay. I have thousands of folders of saved stuff that I can dig into for content to post. The in-dev Artemis mobile app for lemmy looks slick af, if your friend needs convincing.
Yeah I'm also using RiF still. The current developments of the "protests" are super juicy so I'm enjoying that while it lasts. Come July my Reddit use is likely going to plummet drastically.
Sync for Lemmy is coming!
I don't think those numbers are accurate at all, so you have any stats to back that up?
Third party apps are about 10% of total Android downloads. It is also theorized that the 10% are more likely to be power users than the Reddit average. 20% seems on the upper bounds of what I'd expect.
We may underestimate the amount of power-users who are really into their ad-free thrid party apps. The vast majority of reddit users more or less just lurk.
Yeah, from what I've seen it's under 10 percent. But I do wonder if that minority is providing a disproportionate amount of quality content for everyone else.
My source is a post I saw on Reddit a few weeks ago but can't find now. I give the reliability of those numbers a 6 out of 10 confidence rating.
