Maybe the bulk of users have already created accounts.

I agree I think the majority of those who were going to move on have do so already. In time as the Fediverse grows it will pull others in.

There'll be another wave. It'll be significant, by current threadiverse standards, but not by Reddit standards. Servers will strain some people will be unreasonable about the degraded experience. Some others won't be. Resources will catch up as new instances come online. Things will relatively quickly return to organic growth.

@[email protected] there will be several waves as Reddit deteriorates by the lack of tools and moderation.

There could be if we see a series of catastrophic collapses of major subreddits, but my gut feeling is that that's not how it'll play out. Instead, I think we'll see Reddit kick out the activist mods and things superficially go back to "normal".

It'll just be a generally degraded experience.

Waves occur when there's a big splash. Twitter waves happened every time Elon did an Elon thing, for instance. But sustained and persistent movement as people reach their limit with Reddit's decline in quality seems more like what'll happen here.

I was holding out hope up until now. Just recently showed up on the memmy app (TestFlight app for iOS) to try and replace Apollo. UI is ok so far. Lots to learn it seems but hoping this scratches the same itch.

I'd recommend giving https://wefwef.app a look, copies a lot of the Apollo UI and you can install it as an app on your phone (it gives instructions on how to in the settings)

I'm just starting today. I created an account and downloaded Jerboa a few weeks ago but now I'm actually figuring things out. Jerboa was pretty much useless so I had to switch over to Summit, finding communities, etc. Gotta be ready for July 1st a little bit ahead of time though
