& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?
95% of posts that contain active discussion and more than 3 comments are about Lemmy and/or Reddit implosion. I would love to see a pivot to more engagement in other subjects. I do enjoy reading about lemmy and participating in the discussion, but would be good to see the users disperse a little bit :)
This is just a byproduct of current events. It’s also what tends to happen in other areas of the Fediverse. Like Mastodon, when something really stupid happens at Twitter again (which, tbf, happens a lot these days).
If I’m to guess, discussions will normalise within a week. Some of the users who jumped ship from Reddit are going to go back again or give up on the Fediverse in some other way. That is just an unfortunate reality. But if we’ve learned anything from Mastodon, the user base will continue to grow at a more stable pace and the “Threadiverse” (Lemmy, Kbin) will become a suitable alternative to Reddit without caring about Reddit too much.
