I think a lot of people who sign up end up staying. I find my interaction on Reddit diminishes more and more and usage of lemmy keeps going up

Just depends on the person saying it. Could just be what their GPS says or the person could have included stops. Best to ask them as there is no definitive answer to this.

This fediverse is clearly the way forward. No more dipshits like spez and his fiefdom

Memmy is by far the closest to Apollo. Highly recommend

I hear that. The general difficulty of setting up a Lemmy account will detract many low effort users (at least I hope)

Do you remember something awful forums? Think it was $10 for an account and it was amazing. I wouldn’t mind having to pay for an account to keep bots and trolls from infiltrating

With time people will start getting frustrated with all the inconvenient features that Reddit pushes out. Slowly but surely the communities will rebuild here, just like Digg to Reddit.
