SimilarWeb has just released traffic estimates for June. According to these estimates, Reddit’s traffic has seen a 3.36% month-over-month decrease.

For comparison, here’s how traffic has changed for other popular social networking websites:

    Next months numbers will be the real show. Personally I haven’t been on Reddit besides landing on it while googling since bacon reader got shut down. I’m sure theirs a fair bit of others in the same boat.

      Oh absolutely man, everything Reddit was/is lemmy is currently (imo) doing better. I might end up back on Reddit from googling some niche questions, but I’m actually engaging on lemmy whereas on Reddit I lurked since there was no purpose to even try and contribute

      I was user of the official Reddit app. Started using Apollo at the start of June after it was announced to be shutting down. I guess I wanted to see if I had been missing anything.

      Totally fell in love with it and am kicking myself for not switching sooner. And now that it is gone, I can’t ignore all the flaws of the official app. Not to mention the entire vibe is off now.

      I’m still using Reddit, but wayyy less since I had to switch back to the Reddit App. So I found my way to KBin.

      I’m really loving the vibe of the fediverse. It’s a little harder to find communities, and the niche ones aren’t as populated. But it is just so optimistic and free feeling. I want to hang here and see it grow, and I really hope it takes off in a big way.

      Btw I can firmly be described as a casual Reddit user. I mostly lurked, posted a comment every now and then… I feel like my experience is not unique.

      Really interested to see the traffic numbers after the API rollout, cause if my experience isn’t unique (and again, I am a normie) then I think it is going very bad for Reddit right now.
