I visit some technical subreddits and many of them, particularly open source centric ones, kept up the blackout long enough that people went elsewhere. It's difficult to discern between having a slow week or the active posters moving elsewhere, though. Popular subreddits are mostly back to normal, but the more niche ones, whose diversity and quantity were the draw of reddit for me, are far from business as usual.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
I have a few subs that I keep subscribed to but it is only a small handful. Basically I am done with that site. One or two refreshs and maybe a post. If I don't find the right communities here, I will just break down and create them.
Tell us dear Redditors, is r/foodinbutt still going strong? It's the only sub I miss
I was a Reddit addict for years and somehow missed that subreddit. I'm not sure how I feel about it either, as now my curiosity has been struck.

Depends. For me, all the subreddits I care about have reopened. But I wouldn't say back to business as usual
My main page feels about the same, maybe a bit more sparse and slow. But I have about 650 subs in my filter list, which includes most of the big, popular subs, so if there was much impact on the popular areas I probably wouldn't see it.
I use it during work hours as a time waster, with uBlock on because fuck spez.
Totally dropped it on mobile tho, using only wefwef on my phone :)
I am someone who posts art somewhat regularly on Reddit, and I cansay that all of the subreddits that I posted art to has been un-private, so it's business as usual for me

My app only really stopped working yesterday.
I wouldn't say massively different, but I do find it pretty stale content wise recently. Only started using Lemmy today and worry that it's just a bit empty content wise for the moment...
The porn is still decent, but it does feel like a lower quality overall than I’m used to.
