This was a great discovery for me. I love the federated system. Look, you can’t ask for decentralization while also demanding a centralized community. This system works a lot for me. Yes, i know there is also the issue of some communities closing and getting “defederized” but regardless I prefer a system that will be resilient and not compromised by a CEO or shareholders bs. I prefer my data to be disposable and spread throughout multiple private servers than under one big fucking corporation
They seem to be holding up better than I thought they would.
Better than anyone imagined, really; I thought this place would be down for days.
Maybe it just means the migration was smaller than we thought…
It’s a tiny migration to be fair. I seem to recall that the number of Reddit users using third party apps was very small. Most Reddit users haven’t been affected by the change.
I mean, hell I used the official app and I’m still here. 12 year account on Reddit down the drain.
It’s hard to get hold of precise statistics but most (honest) attempts at quantifying it end up at around 10+% of total Reddit users. So we’re potentially talking 10s of millions of MAUs (monthly active users).
Definitely significant when compared to current Lemmy numbers
