(reddthat.com) submitted 3 years ago by andxze@reddthat.com to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world 162 comments fedilink hide all child comments Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this? Any resources would be greatly appreciated. As a sidenote, I'll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn't use RiF anymore.
[–] moup@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago (3 children) The Active Users Ratio graph is not filling me with hope - if I’m reading it correctly there isn’t increased activity, just increased sign ups. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] JustARegularNerd@aussie.zone 15 points 3 years ago* (5 children) I want to comment and submit content, I just feel like I don't have anything of value to share. That tends to be why I lurk. Not sure if that's the case for most other lurkers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Saneless@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Yeah we'd need to know post rate % or avg posts per posting user to understand what's up. Maybe 40% of reddit is lurkers? Maybe 5%? permalink fedilink source parent [–] reffugit@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 3 years ago I was mostly a lurker on reddit, but as others have inspired me to do, I comment and have made a couple of posts to help generate content. permalink fedilink source parent [–] computersaysno@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* yea i feel the same way. heck, the only reason I'm leaving this comment is just to prove your point permalink fedilink source parent [–] Skink@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago That’s certainly the reason I mainly lurk, I don’t have anything of value to add at the moment.

Hell, I've been "lurking" since I've signed up. Since there's such a spike in users, and prior to the Reddit death, most users were power users. I'm surprised that the active user ratio didn't decrease. (My 90% lurker figure would give a 0.1 ratio). The fact it near increased by .05 instead is wild. permalink fedilink source parent
