SimilarWeb has just released traffic estimates for June. According to these estimates, Reddit's traffic has seen a 3.36% month-over-month decrease.
For comparison, here's how traffic has changed for other popular social networking websites:

Need to be take SimWeb data with a bit of a grain of salt. Having used in previous businesses their results are indicative. They smooth big m2m changes from memory.
To add, from memory this won't include app traffic and will only be Web and msites.
Remember about the Pareto principle: roughly 20% of users is probably responsible for the 80% of the content. This 3% is quite a lot in this context, especially considering the active people are probably much less complacent in this regard.
The 90-9-1 principle may also be relevant here: 90% are lurkers, 9% are contributors, and 1% are creators.
Are you saying the closure of many of the subs from June 12-14 and beyond had a negative impact on website traffic?
That was me and all my alt accounts. The real numbers will be next month.
Now that Reddit made the decision to move it's NSFW content behind it's app, this decline will 3x in speed.
We gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
Is this common for this time of year? I know I’m online less in the summer. Reddit is going/has gone to hell, but it seems like there are other factors here
Just found out about Lemmy for the first time, joined, and am loving the layout/website/app so far. Probably going to switch over to just this over time.
July is what will matter. Most of either dropped or changed browsing habbits after July 1st
I'd be more interested in next month's stats
All the media standing on the protests actually probably drive traffic to Reddit
