No one seems to have thought about the fact that most schools have been out for those three months. Not sure exactly how much of the traffic is high schoolers and college students cheating, but that could account for at least some of the loss in traffic.

Edit: missed a word

I’m kinda the opposite of you. I love Bethesda games, but the fantasy element doesn’t do it for me. I never liked Skyrim or the elder scrolls series but loved the fallout series, as well as games like outer worlds. I am not going to preorder the game but I am very excited to see their take on a space rpg, because I love fallout and I love space exploration so if combined well it should become an instant favorite of mine.

I don’t think there is a way to sort comments yet. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do comments are always random for me.

I agree. I found it easier to transition because I follow mostly smaller tech subreddits that already had a presence here, or quickly started one. I only posted 70 comments total and almost nothing recently. I am more concerned about the power users, mods, and people who need things like screen readers not being able to make the jump. In my opinion Lemmy needs those users more than lurkers.

Honestly I think the AMA showed that they are not backing down. Spez answered like 14 total questions on an AMA with 30k comments the last I checked. They don’t seem to care, and I don’t see there being a significant number of people actually leaving reddit either, the alternatives just don’t fix the problems people are having with reddit. If you use a 3rd party app because it has more features, are you going to leave the platform for another platform that only has one 3rd party app?
