The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].
This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.
Glad to have found a new place to hang out!
Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up
Only to add some clarification: reddark is only showing you the list of subs that announced they’d go dark versus the amount of those subs that have gone dark.
The exact number is hard to pin down, but reddit claims to have “100k+” active communities.
So 60% of the subs that said they’d go dark are still dark.
Correct. At best estimate that’s 5%of reddit communities but the impact in users might be much larger as a lot of those 100k subs have just 1 or 2 subs
