Can someone still viewing Reddit explain how it is doing as of right now in terms of content quality and engagement? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

To someone who is subscribed to multiple communities on Reddit, has there been any change in their feed in their quality or amount of posts since July 1st? Any change in the amount of comments in the posts? Even the number of community subscribers?

I want to see how Reddit is doing without going back to their site to check. I know other people might still be seeing Reddit, so I wish to hear directly from them.

I still go on old Reddit on desktop. I’ve noticed the quality and variety of posts has declined a little. There are more medium quality memes and reposts. A lot of the big subs that drove the serious engagement have become quieter and not as present on the front page. It’s still busy and the front page refreshes often but it does feel different. Maybe only 10 percent different which isn’t much, but those heavy users that were forced to decrease engagement across a whole lot of subs were responsible for so much of the vibe.
