I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.
It’s what Digg and Slashdot used to be and Reddit at one time as well. Where there was genuine user interaction. I’m sure Lemmy will also end up the way of the others as well. It’s why I enjoyed Reddit in the smaller subs.
