Just be good to each other here. We have a chance to grow organically, let's do it! Let's figure out how to on board new people and make that transition to the fediverse a positive experience!

I know I sound like Chris Teager but it works.

You make good point. Even if many people go back to reddit post blackout it still is a win. I think even if lemmy's traffic drops down to "pre-API debacle" levels, there's a key difference between then and now namey that people now know lemmy exists. They are not beholden to reddit. I think reddit, inc would be more careful about pissing off their users now that lemmy jas gotten a significant mindshare.

I have been pretty fed up with Reddit for years but never got to the point where I felt the need to shop for a replacement. I started looking before most, but I 100% found Lemmy and learned of the fediverse as a result of Reddits API announcement. I imagine that is the case with the vast majority of new users. It may not be what everyone is looking for but it's good to know there is a viable competitor, even if you're not ready to switch. I personally am, but everyone is at different comfort levels.
