There are still Lemmy users who go to reddit and reddit users who are exploring alternatives.
Onboarding onto Lemmy isn't the best experience and a lot of existing redditors are already afraid of change and don't want to learn a new thing.
I don't know if there is a website dedicated to making it easier for folks to jump ship but I can say that the amount of content on Lemmy now is much higher than it was when I joined.

i think alot of them go back because of the lack of content, and the federation, plus when an instance vanishes they likely go back in the end.
I just want 2009 - 2015 Reddit back, or a place that resembles it. It was just a pleasant time.
Ah yes, right around when Gislane Maxwell was a power user and mod on Reddit.
i heard she came back recently, but its uncofirmed.
I guess that would line up with her getting transferred to minimum security.
