I am 99% lurker and I joined a few weeks ago. I've been patiently waiting to see what happens with the amount and type of content after an assumed bump in activity when 3rd party apps go dark.
I was an Alien Blue user for years before Reddit purchased it, then I was using Sync (and will be again soon with Sync for Lemmy). Reddit is essentially dead to me without 3rd party apps.
Same
Same here. I've jumped between various apps but ended the last year on Sync after their major UI overhaul. I don't plan on going back to Reddit due to the API issues. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy!
I was also lurking without an account as I was waiting to see if reddit would get cold feet about pulling the plug (not that I had any real hope).
For me it's the principle of the thing. I don't want to support a business that conducts itself that way.
