There’s a #RedditMigration to the #Fediverse happening right now. And many of those former #Reddit users are creating accounts on #Lemmy and #kbin. Funny enough, last December, I predicted there would be another Big Social migration to the Fediverse. I even predicted it would happen in June.I just did think that Reddit, of all platforms, would be the one to cause the migration. Big Social has a habit of creating shitty user experiences, and attempting to squeeze every bit of ARPU possible. Until recently, if you didn’t like it, your only option was to kick rocks.Reddit doesn’t give a damn. There have been plenty of Reddit alternatives in the past, and almost all of them have crashed an burned.Except this time, when people join #Lemmy and #kbin, they are interacting with a network of 10 million Fediverse accounts – possibly more. No Reddit alternative has ever had 10 million accounts. Understand this. Even if Lemmy and /kbin make up and insignificant chunk of the Fediverse right now, everyone who uses those services can talk to 10+ million Fediverse accounts. Which means that this time Reddit detractors have serious options. And believe me, there will be another Big Social platform is going to cause another migration to the Fediverse. Each time this happens, that detraction will compound more and more.Reddit probably doesn’t think this is a big deal. They probably think this is like the other times users expressed dissent. But this time, these Redditors are discovering the Fediverse.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org Our threadiverse instance exploded in the last week, and in the space of a few days went from around 10 user more than double the size of Blahaj.zone. I was completely unprepared for the size of this migration

@ada@blahaj.zone haha threadiverse is a very apt name.On a slightly related note, is it okay to announce a community I made on Blahaj Lemmy to a Discord server of the same subject? There are usually 50-150 users online there.I'd like to tell them, but also don't want to stress your servers too much.

@malakai@the.occultist.space As long as you remind them that they don't have to join lemmy.blahaj.zone to use the community, go for it!
