How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
That doesn't matter. People look for revenge on numbers and will like to see Reddit burn and fail.
But that is not what is important. You don't need to justify your decision by looking at how much Reddit loses, but if you are happy here in Lemmy.
The same goes if you left Twitter and switched to Mastodon. It's like feeling better if your ex is doing worse after you get apart. Empty satisfaction imo

lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy
I don’t care about the piracy community but people are complaining about they having to create multiple accounts and saying Lemmy will never reach critical mass like this…
But why would we want to reach critical mass? I don’t want to sound like a gatekeeper but growing just for the sake of growing is never been good on anything.
Specially as Lemmy is still an alpha software. And people are still figuring out how is the better way to moderate ourselves instead of waiting to Big Corpo to do so.
This is part of being an early adopter. You give feedback, sometimes things don’t go your way, other they hear you out.
I’m loving the experience so far. The Fediverse still is not mature enough (we block fast) but we are still figuring things out.

Other thing I see is that people fall on the trap that they NEED to watch what everyone is watching.
Just don’t. Rotate if you need to.
I pay Netflix one month per year, most other services even less.
YouTube Premium is the only I pay full year. It’s my TV now.

Done with Twitter and Reddit
Welcome. I deleted all my old social media accounts. I think only LinkedIn is left. Mastodon is a delight to use and with so many apps available, you can have the best experience posible. The same is happening with Lemmy.
Just a couple of months ago it was like 3-4 comments per post. Now is huge.

True, Mlem is getting better for Lemmy on iOS but Android versions for Kbin/Lemmy need some love too

what brought you to Lemmy?

I had been on Mastodon since November last year and never felt that "shouting to the void" feeling. But I understand that is not for everybody.
Microblogging sites with no algorithm like Mastodon or Calckey, require you to invest time to follow, comment and care for other people's content to make friends and followers.
But as you said, some people don't like or have time for that, and forum like site like this are better. I actually giving this a try, because or Reddit I wasn't the most engaged user either.

How much effort does this? Most services are a couple of clicks or like me, use a digital debit card and prepaid only what you need.
Or just subscribe and cancel it right away (almost the same screen). You take more time looking at what to watch than to switch services.
People lose money because this companies know they are lazy.

Yeah, I was thinking that. When I played it, the graphics where stunning. Imagine this game with Unreal Engine 5 and more missions. *chefkiss
