This is probably just the first big wave. The biggest will be when the apps themselves actually shut down - fence sitters will then have to make a choice to download the official app or try an alternative and I think a lot of people will be curious to see if the grass is greener.
I’ve noticed that Lemmy is getting more and more usable as more users join and add more content.

Yeah, the drama over there is pure reality TV level right now.
Wow, that bad, eh? Haven’t been there for a month now. Just bot accounts everywhere?
I haven’t “left” Reddit yet, but I also have been avoiding the site as much as possible. If they’re going to be a terrible site, the least I can do is try to avoid going on and making them money from ads.
Or at least only doing so at home where I have my PiHole box to remove them.
I love this because more people will comment. A majority of my time on Reddit was reading through comments and hearing all of people’s interesting takes and learning random information. The daily increase is fun to watch especially since I’m not the one maintaining the servers!
totally agree. I’ve been trying to engage more myself to encourage others to do the same
Been signing up to reddit alts all week. Finally got to Lemmy.
Hi. Same for me.
Same actually. What all have you signed up for? I’ve only signed up for Lemmy and kbin so far.
I found my inbox lol.

there may have been a few others. I like the old.reddit look of some, especially saidit, but lemmy seems to be the most active
Keep in mind too that the expiration date for many of the mainstream third party Reddit apps is June 30
Just think of the spike in users when that rolls around in 10 days

I’m here now trying to get ahead of it.
Im really enjoying my experience here on Lemmy. Kinda like how I enjoyed reddit in the beginning
