I tallied (roughly) the number of subscriber accounts, across all these reddits. It's around 1 billion. Obviously, it's not conservative as many will have subscribed to multiple. But, I see MAU (monthly active users) is about 1b. So, this is huge.
EDIT: Seems the source for MAU I found was way high, making this potentially even bigger. Every other source I've found is 400-500m range for MAU on reddit (as another pointed out).
- Krutonium 3y agoI got around 1.5b, not filtering for one user subbed to multiple subreddits.
- detrites 3y agoI stopped counting at lower subbed communities (below 100k IIRC), seeing diminishing returns. If they all add up that much it's interesting, as many of those communities are very niche, so may have a higher weight of unique subs.
- layer8 3y agoFWIW, as of 2021, Reddit had around 50 million DAUs and 450 million MAUs. Some portion of users will also just fall back to visiting other subreddits on June 12.
- sofixa 3y ago> Some portion of users will also just fall back to visiting other subreddits on June 12. It doesn't seem like there are many subreddits not participating in the blackout.
- layer8 3y agoAccording to the current count, less than 2% of subreddits are going dark.
- pb7 3y agoLess than 2% of subreddits but what percentage of total activity?
- layer8 3y agoThat doesn’t matter for the question of whether users will fall back to visiting other subreddits.
- mahathu 3y agoSo why did you bring it up?
- layer8 3y agoI brought up the percentage of subreddits, which does matter, because it determines how many subreddits remain to fall back to. The activity level of the subreddits who are blacking out, however, doesn’t matter for that, and it was pb7 who brought that up, not me.
- nabakin 3y agoNot total activity, but I think half of the top 250 subreddits participating in the protest gives a good idea https://save3rdpartyapps.com/ https://save3rdpartyapps.com/
- nabakin 3y agoAround half of the top 250 aren't participating atm https://save3rdpartyapps.com/ https://save3rdpartyapps.com/
- jacquesm 3y agoMost of the private ones were private already, and whether the other ones will follow through or not remains to be seen.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI did wonder, are these all subreddits or just the ones announcing they will be going dark? It does seem like a lot of ones will be turning off.
