How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends? (lemmy.world)

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 expect a much crappier reddit 6 months from now. i won't be able to use reddit without old.reddit and res.

re lemmy, i'm so confused and overwhelmed by it. i wish there was a lingo and activity converter between reddit and lemmy.

Huh, i'm personally a bit underwhelmed, mostly because of the lack of new content, but I expect it to improve. The way I use Lemmy is that i have the jerboa app, i'm logged in to lemmy.world and I have it set to All so I get content from other instances as well i guess

thanks for the tip. i'm thinking of lemmy as a bunch of small subreddits.
