When CTH got completely banned enough people were able to hold out for hexbear long enough and with enough people where its still really active today. I believe GZD can do the same, especially since so far we’ve only been quarantined and not full on banned (yet)
As long as people can learn from r/CTH and migrate before the ban, most people will come. Ideally, the mods would pull a r/The_Donald and lock the sub with a sticky to move offsite pinned for the next month or so

if we could get even a fraction of the users from reddit on lemmygrad we’d be able to achieve a significant self sustaining community out here without the concern of reddit admins looming over and banning us to defend actual nazis
User count is whatever. Activity is a much more useful metric. You can have a forum with 20 active users and it will be worth a lot more than a forum of 1000 inactive users. At the time r/CTH was banned, it was one of the most active communities per capita on Reddit. The site has remained active despite cutting off a zero from its original Reddit user count. GenZedong strikes me as the kind of community that can pull this off no problem. Especially considering the massive leap Lemmy has taken since the time r/CTH was banned.
Until we establish these spaces and ideally make them popular amongst people doing irl organizing, capital will keep us around while we’re useful and discard is when we’re not. Simple as.
i’m not gonna miss reddit. i’m gonna miss our giant community.
i hope most can make it over here
