Yeah. Since Reddit is back to normal, the majority of people who left it due to protest now returns.
Fediverse
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;

At the very least it's less engaging than reddit. Makes it easier to scroll less frequently and focus on other more important things.
I'll be more interested in the user numbers when it's been a year.
When they remove old.reddit it's over for me - there is no browser I've tried that new.reddit hasn't managed to crash within a few minutes of using it.
But I'll stay on old.reddit for as long as possible... there are just too many nazis and fascists waiting in the wings to hijack the communities I've put a lot effort into. It's better to just milk them for as long as possible.
Are they getting rid of old.reddit???
That's the only thing that makes the site readable. Damn.
I have 3 accounts, but now only use 1 actively.
e.g. removing old.reddit
Shit, are they planning this?
I would actually stop using Reddit if they did this. New Reddit is intolerable.
Quick! Everyone go open 2 more accounts! We can fix this!
I can tell you the drop in active Lemmy users was NOT from hexbear and lemmy.grad. Those trolls are worse than the_donald was on the other platform.
