    I doubt it made a dent. 250k doesn’t even register on the map of 100m active users.

        Are they though? I didn’t submit posts on reddit. Looking at the front page of lemmy it’s missing a lot of the topics and subjects reddit posts about.

        I’m not trying to be a downer, I think 250k is great and it’s enough to make lemmy 100% replace reddit for me. But I don’t think it dents reddit. I talked to my friends and they barely noticed anything except the blackout. I go on reddit all the same communities are still posting and commenting as normal. But saying that when I looked at reddit I realized how much garbage is posted there compared to lemmy.

          This is it though, of my subreddits that are open, it’s just complete trash being posted and a few comments (and even less meaningful comments).

      I think that which 250k migrated will eventually end up making quite a significant dent. It isn’t the technophobic lurkers that make up the Lemmy early adopters.

      Basically this. I guess the people leaving Reddit are evened out by simply rounding the resulting values before rendering them into a graph.
