Depends on what the goal was. If the goal was to have so many people leave reddit that it dies, then yeah. Nowhere near strong enough for that (and I don’t think that was ever going to happen).
If the goal was to get enough people motivated to make an alternative (like this one or kbin or whatever) viable, then I think it was extremely effective. Prior to June, these spaces didn’t have enough content and discussion to be entertaining for me personally. But I deleted my reddit account on June 30th, and I haven’t once regretted that or gone back to the site because Lemmy has been enough
I love seeing old stuff from Reddit pass by on my feed, long dead memes are living a second life!
Is this where I comment about two broken arms?
As long as we don’t talk about the shoebox it’s fine.
You thought those memes were alive? Nope! Chuck Testa.
And beans.
Yeah that’s very true! My old account has been on lemmy.ml for two years and I never used it. Now it’s actually quite nice here with the increase in activity.
