Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...
Very much this. What will not be visible in the metrics Reddit currently cares about (max user base/views) is that they may have lost a lot of the people who produced the long term content that kept people coming back and the people that kept their communities free from being overrun by garbage posts
