It's evident in the quality of posts and comments in the old place.
I don't really mind the lower traffic here. Seems like all the intelligence left the old building at once. Either that or I've forgotten just how trash it had become.

I think lemmy has a lot of growing pains before it can become a full fledge alternative for the masses. Updates need to happen, and a sustainable business model needs to come about for admins to cover costs
I don't know generally how people have reacted, maybe a lot just quit browsing that type of media altogether. They haven't all flocked to the Fediverse that's for sure. It's grown a lot recently, but before the API mess Reddit had almost a half billion monthly active users. There's like 150k right now between Lemmy and kbin so pretty insignificant in comparison.
I'm pretty sure the quality of posts on Reddit has fallen noticeably, they lost a a good number of mods and people have said it's pretty obvious now.
What I find funny is the favorable references Spez has made to how Elon is running Twitter (X), but thing is it's obvious now Twitter is intentionally being run into the ground. Since Spez is a Elon protégé I guess Reddit is being intentionally run into the ground.

Seen instance wars, admin egos, random censorship and many other fediverse issue.
Not looking forward to ir anymore to be honest.
IMHO reddit is still the same. Looking at /r/all is about the same. Among the smaller subreddits that I care about (programming subreddits), the activity has decreased, but I think it's recovering a bit.
Lemmy can absolutely replace my previous /r/all experience, but the programming communities are still too small.
I started using Mastodon 3 years ago and only now can I say that it has replaced my previous Twitter experience.
I'm confident that Lemmy will become more relevant, but this should take more time.
