I agree. I'm not aware of a single sub that has wholesale moved to a lemmy instance. There's def a big increase in fediverse usage, but to say entire communities have migrated already is beyond hyperbole, it's just marketing speak.

There are new posts and comments in both subreddits. How can you migrate a sub when other people on reddit can still use it?

No subreddit can fully move. Reddit is too popular for everyone to leave. A mod can start a new place but if they threaten the the sub itself like going private or not allowing posts the company can just open it with new mods.

there were still people on Digg for over a decade after the "digg migration". I think you're taking the term a bit too literally.
besides, migrations in software work the same way. You don't cold turkey drop the old tools. You make bridges, start weaning people on new tools, and phase out the old. That's the concept behind deprecation models.

Supposedly a good handful of piracy subs have motioned for movements due to takeovers by Reddit, though thats the only community I know of so far.
