In other words trend-chasers that adopt the beliefs, behaviors, or attitudes of the majority, often at the expense of their own judgment.

    Imho it does not matter. It might, however, very well be that people who are obsessed with who is staying on Reddit, who is going back, and how fast Lemmy grows are insecure about their decisions themselves. It does not matter how many people are here, as long as the right people are here. Not only that, but it is kind of bewildering how “bigger is better, if something does not go into hypergrowth it fails” is engrained into our thinking.

    No I don’t agree. I think people “went back to reddit” (who exactly though?) because it has good SEO, robust infrastructure, and a massive user base to generate content. Also who cares? You still going there or something?

      Yes, it’s sad we generalize and vilify so much For those of us who are still enjoying Reddit, or both, there are perfectly valid reasons, good, let’s not be tribal, it’s all just social media. It would be nice if the fediverse could grow bigger though, we’ll see how it goes.

    I’d disagree. I pop open kbin.social first, and now Artemis second. When I get bored of those, I go to YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit. I’m giving the fediverse priority for my leisure attention, but there just isn’t an endless supply of interesting content on the fediverse yet.

    It’s improving slowly as the Fediverse grows and as I dial in my communities, but it’ll be a while before it’s able to fully hold its own (for me).

    I come here occasionally, but for the most part I use Reddit because it has the biggest user base, so you can find far more specific and active subreddits than Lemmy communities.

    I disagree. I never fully stopped using reddit, aside from the protests. There are just too many small unique communities there that I can’t leave atm, because there is no equivalent Lemmy community. I use it less and less over time but I can see how many people in my shoes would have just returned to reddit 100% instead of using both.
