I think @lemmy @lemmyworld might not get the support Mastodon got because Twitter is more seriously used by some people and needed an urgent alternative whereas Reddit is still primarily used for entertainment

    It doesn’t need to replace Reddit. All it needs is a small active userbase which it got from the migration and just slowly grow into something new.

      I prefer it this way vs a full-blown copy of reddit. Smaller communities makes for better engagement and far more fulfilling convos anyway. 🙂

      @BrikoX given that all big subreddits are protesting instead of switching. Lemmy has not threatened Reddit even remotely close as Mastodon did forcing Twitter to block Mastodon links.

      I 100% agree with you, Lemmy only needs to be a competitor, not a replacement.

      But so far, that also hasn’t happened
