    I think the main issue is the growth isn’t linear. It’s sporadic. Usually a big bump after every Reddit fuck up. Lots of bumps lately. Another one coming on the 30th.

      Do you think there are a lot of people on reddit who are still waiting for the 30th to make their lemmy/kbin account? I was assuming that most who were going to come over here from this blowup had moved already.

        Not sure. But I am still using Apollo and I don’t plan on downloading the official app when it dies so at the very least, I will go from 70/30 fediverse to almost 100 percent fediverse.

        I think its a case that those who moved recently (my account here is recent but Ive been on Lemmy.ml for 2 years), had seen the writing on the wall.

        When the effects start to kick in, there will be another few large influxes then when the majority left on Reddit wonder why the site went to shit overnight and where everyone else went, they will leave too.

        It will be very similar to what happened with Digg all those years ago.
