I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better.
Thanks!

The total number of users across all Lemmy instances is about half a million, from memory? There was a post about it not so long ago. A quick google’s search shows Reddit has 55 million daily active users.
It’s fuck all, at least for now.
It’s definitely a drop in the bucket, though I wonder what the Creator/Contributor/Lurker percentages are on Reddit vs Lemmy (1%/9%/90% is the normal percentages I see related to those groups). If we assume a larger number of Creators and Contributors left Reddit (presumably for Lemmy), then even though Lemmy has less total users, it may have a higher amount of actual content creators and contributors. Though what that actually translates into over time is questionable.
That’s definitely a good point, although I suspect a lot of content creators will do posting their work in multiple places.
The raw numbers are sweet FA though.
