I haven’t found that to be the case. However I did spend some time customizing the communities in my Home feed to have less news/politics and more stuff I like.

That definitely helps

Funny enough, Anonymous is claiming it was them.

Not everyone adopts to change the same way. A slow migration to lemm.ee is what is needed.

If the focus is on making these communities strong, and Reddit continues to shut down dissent, the people will come.
