...how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I'm definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

Yeah my biggest fear over the last two days has been that people will just hop back over to Reddit again. I’ve been secretly kind of hoping Reddit doesn’t reverse the API changes just so more people will stay here. I honestly do like Lemmy more than I’ve ever liked Reddit. Trying to keep engagement high is why over the last two days I’ve commented more on Lemmy than I have on my 10+ year old Reddit account.

I think I know exactly how you're feeling, It's pretty similar to my experience tbh. Again, I'm the same, I think I only ever made two posts on Reddit and a handful of comments in the five years I had an account. Whereas I've probably already matched that output here in the few days. Perhaps that's why I've been enjoying Lemmy as much as I have?

Honestly, I think I'd be content if enough people stayed here (or joined over time) to help this become recognised by the mainstream as a genuine Reddit alternative.
