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'm probably going to start using Reddit again when the blackout ends and keep using it until the end of the month, but once RIF stops working I don't see myself going back. The way I see it, the last couple of days have been a nice stress-test period for Lemmy, but the real exodus will start in July.

Yeah Sync for Reddit is shutting down at the end of the month, so I'll go back and save some of my favorites and then officially get off Reddit for good come July.

Same here. It’s been good whilst it lasted. Won’t be using Reddit once Apollo stops working.

I'm kind if shocked subs didn't have a lemmy community already in mind when they went dark. Just a sign that they ate doing their token protest and the lb back to business as usual in the next few days.
