The real #redditmigration starts the 30th or the 1st, I hope lemmy and kbin are ready for the traffic!

        Realistically, this will end like Twitter migration. Some going to move, but most of them still using Twitter (or Reddit).

          A lot of Twitter is going to bluesky. And the bluesky people keep kicking the assholes off. Also, bluesky is making its own federation. So, run am I stance of bluesky for your own groups/world.

          Pretty much my thought. While I don’t like Elon and hate twitter, its still hanging around. Everyone said it would die off, but it unfortunately has not yet. Some people have moved to another place, but some that have realized those “other places” weren’t as good as twitter itself, so some moved back to twitter as well.

          The unthinking sheeple who remain behind, the lowest common denominator of humanity… I won’t really miss them, honestly.

        Expecting that reddit will go down within weeks: Unreasonable.

        Expecting that reddit will have a slow and painful death and that spez completely fucked up the upcoming IPO and the long term future of the platform? Absolutely reasonable.

          Yeah, I never understand people who assume something unreasonable on their own and then went “see? I’m right, you’re wrong. I’m just being realistic (by assuming unrealistic things about the points made by the other side when that’s not what anyone is saying)”. Of course you are right, a meaningless kind of right.

          That is pretty much what I am saying for the most part. It will take another site that is actually good for reddit to fully die out, but that will take time. It aint happening in the span of a couple weeks, we are talking a lot more time than that.

    Unfortunately as we have approached July 1st I have noticed more and more hostile users on kbin. Obviously I’ve only been using kbin for a little bit but within the past couple days I am starting to see mele users who come online just to start arguments, which is one of the main things I didn’t like about reddit’s userbase.

    For example, today I was name pinged several times by a user who had “born and bred <slur>” in their profile. They kept name pinging in an attempt to start an argument. I haven’t seen this at all over on tildes

      I agree I think the majority of those who were going to move on have do so already. In time as the Fediverse grows it will pull others in.

        There’ll be another wave. It’ll be significant, by current threadiverse standards, but not by Reddit standards. Servers will strain some people will be unreasonable about the degraded experience. Some others won’t be. Resources will catch up as new instances come online. Things will relatively quickly return to organic growth.

            There could be if we see a series of catastrophic collapses of major subreddits, but my gut feeling is that that’s not how it’ll play out. Instead, I think we’ll see Reddit kick out the activist mods and things superficially go back to “normal”.

            It’ll just be a generally degraded experience.

            Waves occur when there’s a big splash. Twitter waves happened every time Elon did an Elon thing, for instance. But sustained and persistent movement as people reach their limit with Reddit’s decline in quality seems more like what’ll happen here.

        I was holding out hope up until now. Just recently showed up on the memmy app (TestFlight app for iOS) to try and replace Apollo. UI is ok so far. Lots to learn it seems but hoping this scratches the same itch.

      I’m just starting today. I created an account and downloaded Jerboa a few weeks ago but now I’m actually figuring things out. Jerboa was pretty much useless so I had to switch over to Summit, finding communities, etc. Gotta be ready for July 1st a little bit ahead of time though

    Frankly I now don’t really care what happens to Reddit. I was an 11 year account there but the second I moved over here I kind of stopped caring. I think it would benefit people to not be so emotive over social media.

    That said I still muscle memory type Reddit into my search box… maybe it will take some time to get over

    I’m still a little confused on how the whole fediverse thing works. For example, what is analogous to a sub in a fediverse?

      On Lemmy, they’re styled as “Communities”; on kbin, they’re named “Magazines”; Friendica calls them “Forums”. In most of the rest of the Fediverse, they’re called “Groups”.
