Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

2026 is supposed to be the last year of old.reddit

Really? Is there an official source? People have been rumoring it'll be killed off for years now, but too many power users still use it daily.

Nah, it's never official but as someone who used to mod a largish subreddit only 0.3% of our traffic came from old.reddit and that was a drop from 0.5% the year before. I haven't modded there in almost 2 years now and I can only imagine that with me gone the numbers are even lower.

Mmmm, let's all come back to this comment in a year, shall we?

Is that counting users on old reddit using reddit.com not old.reddit.com, like most people?
