Reddit was the same way after the Digg migration. Everyone was talking about Digg for a while. Over time, Digg mentions became more and more rare.

The more users Mastodon has, the bigger the incentive for public figures to be there.
I created a Mastodon account today, so I’m doing my part.
I was using mobile website on ios but then tried the Memmy app. The app experience is much better.
Soon reddit will just repost from Lemmy
California already has a law for this and they’re doing just fine
/u/spez wants to restore Reddit to its former glory but knows that shareholders would never allow it. He decides to single handily rescue Reddit through and inside job that burns Reddit to the ground so Reddit can be reborn as Lemmy, the purest form of Reddit that surpasses even the original. Lemmy’s wild success steers the entire Internet onto the path decentralization, as it was originally intended to be.
Thank you /u/spez, you are a true hero.
I will never use it but if Threads steals users from Twitter, that will reduce Twitter’s dominance and make it easier for other users to switch to the Fediverse.
Just make sure to defederate Threads from the start.
I was previously using Firefox on mobile but I tried Memmy and it’s actually a much better experience.

What does your username mean?
It’s likely used for fingerprinting, not optimization.
I wonder if search engines will see content duplicated across multiple instances and derank them thinking it’s SEO spam. Or maybe I’m overthinking since google is already full of SEO spam.
I’m glad to see this but app stores have anti review bomb measures so this might not make a difference
Makes no difference to me.
I stopped using Reddit and I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about this kind of user hostile changes.
Maybe a jailbait mod who also secretly edits user comments with his admin privileges is not suitable to be CEO.
Most reddit topics were about Digg in the days following the Digg exodus. Over time, discussion shifts naturally.
Lemmy needs to make Hot the default. It’s a better experience for new users.
In an ideal world these APIs would be free. But corporations exist to maximize profit and their value is the user network and the content that users generate. Of course they will try to milk it as much as possible.
I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.
I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
Vivaldi and Brave can modify Chromium to disable this feature. Chromium is open source after all.
