I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation.
I agree, I do hope Lemmy strives tbh. When there is more content, there is more traction. Let’s just keep these discussions going and spread the word around. I talk to my coworkers during lunch break about the Reddit blackout and told them about Lemmy (but I usually start the conversation with “do you use Reddit”)
I actually want certain subreddits to go live again precisely because I can link users to Lemmy. Right now there are many communities whose members are feeling lost without Reddit - not because of a love for reddit, but because it was the only group for that community. Show them Lemmy and some could migrate, even if slowly.
