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.

Can’t speak for defaults or large subs, just anecdotal stuff from the few times when I browsed on desktop since Friday.

One of my favorite subreddits /r/progmetal is still private with a message to join the discord instead. Glad they’re staying dark.

Others seem like business as usual, but I don’t have any data obv.

The generic stuff that has a broad common denominator will easily take hold on Lemmy as they would in any growing community (like shitposts, question threads, gaming, technology, news, image focused communities and so on).

The niche stuff will take a while to grow, more so as the niche subs are those less likely to move from Reddit (or already have communities like Discord that they retreat to). More specific communities will need to build a new base here unfortunately.

Time will tell; it's not been that long.
