This plus reddit is still active. Many subs left but many is still activly used like r/askreddit
Only a bit more than 100k ppl are on lemmy and reddit have over 1 billion...
This site says reddit has 430 million active users and 44% active user growth since last year. https://backlinko.com/reddit-users#reddit-daily-active-users
So I think lemmy will be it's own nich and reddit will just keep on going. I don't think much will happen as long as ppl don't rage over there and live the wild west, spam with gore and porn on all subs with no moderation so businesses do not want to have their ads there. Seems far fetched tho and I don't know if any big wigs will even notice it. Maybe smaller business that doesn't matter to reddit. And also all the bots will make it seem active too. And reddit only care about numbers that can be shown to their stakeholders and partners/sponsors.
But I also think it is fine. Does who care will be somewhere else and does who dont will stay there. But the reason this all happened suck tho
So the next phase after blackout starting after the api changes is the spam bot phase?
Haha I guess. If the bots works after the api change. I don't know how much worth it is for them to pay for the api. So maybe it will shock us all of how different reddit will be?
