This site has a graph that shows how many subs are private: https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/
I find it a good way to see how the situation is evolving as a whole.
This is a great resource, thank you! Interesting to like that there was an impact over the past 2 days, but it looks like it's going back up to normal today. I guess we need to wait until the end of the month to see what happens with apps shutting down and subs continuing/going back to blackouts. Hopefully this wasn't just a one time, 2-day reduction in traffic.
It also tells you that, depsite all the subs that blacked out, total comments posted dropped by something trivial -- like 10%.
Admittedly, if Lemmy took that 10%, it would be a coup for federated services. But it looks like Lemmy took less than 1% of reddits total traffic during the blackout.
