View submission: What we’re working on this year
I obviously have no proof for this but I think the admin is lying when he says only 4% of users run the old version. Lol.
Unless they're fudging numbers on the back end, mods can see percentages of traffic to their subreddit by platform (outside of API usage would would include third-party apps, I believe). For /r/anime old reddit usage is roughly around 10% but from conversations with some mods of other subs that's unusually high by comparison.
Edit: for fun, here are the exact numbers from /r/anime in May 2022:

In case it wasn't obvious the percentages in the bottom row are the mobile/desktop split.

For /r/AdviceAnimals, the *vast* majority of our viewers are using one of the various reddit apps, but we get about the same amount of Old Reddit vs New Reddit unique viewers every month, and about twice as many New Reddit viewers overall. But again, both numbers are absolutely *dwarfed* by the amount of mobile viewers using a Reddit app.
