Personally I moved to lemmy and hackernews and stopped using reddit because the apps stopped working.
But after they started doing stupid stuff I also moved to Lemmy, and haven’t looked back.
My outcome was the shutdown of Apollo, rather than the blackout. I no longer read Reddit on my phone. (Except for a link or two clicked from something else, but even then I go to `old.reddit` instead to read the comments). That was really where I wasted the most time on it. It’s kind of a relief. I think I was too “lazy” to stop on my own because Apollo was so comfortable to use.
Depends on the community. Some subreddits I used to go to migrated off the platform or closed down entirely, but many others just reopened with new staff and proceeded as usual. Not sure if activity was affected sitewide, though it feels a bit more quiet than it used to for me.
The site as a whole feels a bit less active - i.e. not as active as it used to be.

I started using tildes.net which is invite only interesting community.
Some Reddit communities fled to other platforms such as Lemmy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(social_network) Many subreddit moderators protested in various ways and were removed and replaced. Reddit never agreed or compromised and for the most part the movement seems to have run out of steam. Maybe if Reddit squeezes more, more users will go to Lemmy and similar alternative platforms?
I signed up for the $60/yr. Ad-free version and Reddits still great IMO.
Reddit feels pretty dead nowadays in comparison. Or at least it is mostly dead to me.
