Huffman has said, “We are not in the business of giving that [Reddit’s content] away for free.” That stance makes sense. But it also ignores the reality that all of Reddit’s content has been given to it for free by its millions of users. Further, it leaves aside the fact that the content has been orchestrated by its thousands of volunteer moderators.

    I’m planning to stay active on Lemmy, but I am a bit worried. I feel like the engagement on here has dropped the last few days as Reddit’s traffic mostly recovered.

    July will be another big test, so we’ll see.

      It feels like engagement is increasing to me, even in a few days. I think you’re right, though, Jul 1 will be the test.
