The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].

This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.

Glad to have found a new place to hang out!

Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up

I think it will be worse when RIF and Appolo stop working.

+bot moderators.

That's amazing.

Are these 60% of all subreddits or 60% of the subreddits that made the claim that they'd be going dark?

[-] operator@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

60% of those subreddits that made the claim. The blackout is now on its 3rd day and many big ones (e.g. r/apple, r/formula1) are staying dark indefinitely.

[-] khab@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

The latter. Still pretty significant, mind you, with some really heavyweight subs still staying closed.

60% of the ones that made the claim. There are millions of subreddits.

[-] whoharold@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same, I just hope development picks up to match the traffic.

[-] Herbstzeitlose@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

60% of subreddits that intended to go dark in the first place, not of all active subreddits.

Here is the website where you can see recent blackout activity and the graphs.
