I don't mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I'm curious about people's outlook on this situation.

I think prob half of the people who give lemmy a chance, I think we're just a vocal minority, most people who post on Reddit and the enthusiasts that give a damn about design and shit, so that's why a ton of subs a going dark, but most of the people probably don't care, some of them are still going to join lemmy(hence the 50%) but there just isn't enough content

changing to lemmy has completely changed how it use this type of app, 70% of the posts were pics/vids, but here there's a bigger focus of text and the amount of pics are closer to 20%
