Good for them, but the damage is already done. They seeded this place with a lot of users. Will it be enough? Who knows. But Lemmy is probably a looooot further along than if they didn’t shoot them selves in the foot.

This placeo obviously needs to continue with good content and active communities, but at moment I don’t really have the urge to open Reddit they way things are.

Absolutely. I had never even heard of Lemmy or anything Fediverse prior to all the 3rd party API shutdown. Once Apollo died, I stopped using Reddit.
