This is just factually untrue with the numbers lemmy by itself has being having. Not to say anything of Mastodon and et al. There wouldn't be a mass exodus of highly engaged folks from reddit to lemmy if users just didn't move anymore. Threads got big but then instantly deflated to a much lower number immediately.
Active accounts on Lemmy instances is in the tens of thousands. I like it for the most part, but it's not really a significant part of the 1.5 million in the graphic.
