Yup, that's the word for it. Initial burst. Definetly not the last.
That's gonna be fun for the new mods to deal with lol in fact, i think they already are.
Reddit had years to build up its content, and Rome wasn't built in a day (something i feel a lot of people easily forget, and not just in this case) so in some ways I can't blame them for not moving. It's like you said tho, the best way to hurt Reddit is to post good content elsewhere, and IDK, I feel like that could have been better than just bitterly staying.
That's not for us to decide, i think. Lemmy might be a whole different beast, but if enough people come in and bring the Reddit expierence to Lemmy, it just might. Maybe not a 100% replacement, it'll never be a 1:1 replacement after all, but just enough.
I prefer it here. The comment sections are few and far between, but the ones that do exist have a higher quality of dialogue. We just need more of the experts to shift over; the only thing I really miss about the other place is when some person who’s an expert on the most random thing starts chiming in on a topic and dropping knowledge.
I like it a lot here too, tho I'm honestly not too bothered if there's much more activity in the future tho. IDK, i feel like growth is going to happen sooner or later (because it always does), whether that's a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.
