    Vocal minority though, surely?
    I’ve visited a few times on Desktop (old.reddit) since the shutdown and the rate of new content seems to have slowed down quite drastically.

    Twitter metrics used to point to 90% of the content coming from 10% of the users.
    If Reddit is similar, it makes sense to assume that many of the very active users were on 3rd party apps (to improve the basic experience, moderation etc.) so those being unavailable could put them off entirely (I know I’m using Reddit a fraction of what I once was).

      I believe the rule of thumb is the 90:9:1 ratio:

      • 1% of users create original content
      • 9% of users interact with that content - voting/commenting on it, sharing it, etc.
      • 90% of users are essentially just in read-only mode
