Nothing drastic will happen or change, because it's not users who will be leaving the site, but moderators, and still only a tiny fraction of moderators. Majority of subs will be exactly as they were a month ago. They would be leaving for lack of better moderation tools and API which lemmy also doesn't have, so it's not a real alternative to migrate to.
The only thing that would make users start moving would be complete lack of moderation of top100 subreddits, which we know won't happen because if one mod leaves, there always will be someone who will be happy and enthusiastic to be granted the dfake internet respect for being a mod of a major subreddit.
Most 3rd party Reddit apps will be gone, and Reddit have shown willingness to move to a far more closed model than it used to be. Mods were and are not the only ones to leave.
Only a few technical people care about it and it's an ideological thing. Just wait and watch. Nothing will change, maybe things will break for a day or two, but by Thursday no one will remember it.
Do you remember Orkut? Digg? Slashdot?
Revisit Reddit one, two, three years from now. I think you might be surprised.
Something something remind me robot
I think you're right though. We are witnessing a seismic shift is how we interact online.
I wasn't a technical personal. I used bacon reader. Now I can't so it's so long reddit hello Lemmy. Easy transition
