Reddit probably hasn’t even noticed the drop in traffic. Lemmy is a very niche site that is a peanut compared to Reddit unfortunately. I don’t see it becoming mainstream any time soon because it’s too complicated to understand for the average Joe.
I consider myself to just be an average Joe and I don’t think Lemmy is too difficult to figure out. Moreso just a getting used to. I think the majority of people are just too lazy to put in the effort to get used to a new system, even if it is better in some areas than the previous system.
If you are already on this site, have an account and are actively participating you are way beyond the average Joe. The average Joe will only find out about lemmy a year from now 😂
Last report I saw had traffic numbers to their ad space still down about 20%. That’s definitely an amount they notice, though I’m sure they hope and believe it’ll go back up.
I definitely do not think they are calling any of us back per se, but on he other hand the way spez talks is definitely like someone who is in denial about being dumped.
Reddit isn’t going to die, but as they shed their core user base the platform will have less and less to contribute until the only users left are extremely boring profitable drones. Just like Facebook is today. I don’t want those users, reddit does. Win-win
Sorry for an unrelated question, but I have a doubt about instances. If I have this username and email for lemmy.world, can I use the same username and email for another instance? When I tried creating an account with these credentials on kbin.social, it didn’t work and said those values were taken.

This isn’t a bad thing though

You don’t need to create another account, just search/click on the communities you’re interested in from your own instance and subscribe to them.
