This is impossible to know. It is more important to see what Lemmy is getting more so than what Reddit is loosing.
At least on the fediverse the number is realistic and not something for the shareholders.
Couldn't agree more. People here need to be okay with the possibility that Reddit continues to be popular even though it will continue to be the same scummy company that treats its users like cattle. Those of us who care about that kind of stuff are a minority of the users. There are likely tens of thousands of people who lurk Reddit, click the ads, and don't even know about the API debacle... and that's okay, we should all let it go.
