Digg didn't collapse overnight. Neither did MySpace. Or Fark. It was little by little then all at once.

And even then, all of those websites still technically exist, in some form at least. They died, but they're not dead.
A lot of people seemed to expect reddits crash and burn to eventually shutter the service entirely, but even if every single major content creator left the bots would keep things running semi-smoothly for the less engaged users for probably years to come.
Brain drain.
I think the main community that I was in wouldn't mind jumping ship, but there's no where for them to jump to yet.
Lemmy's mod tools don't seem to be rolled out yet and I haven't found anywhere on Lemmy that has a wiki built into their community yet.
I agree mod tools are the largest hurdle right now. Startrek.website has a wiki but I understand it's not built into Lemmy.
thanks for using Leebra!

While I don't think Reddit is going to collapse anytime soon or anything, any moderators that chose to stay after seeing how little Reddit cares about them, are not going to be the sorts of people with a bold vision on what they want to see in a community. What remains of the culture is just going to get more and more generic as evidenced here.
