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

@trifictional People are what make a platform.
Users submit content to fill it
Mods make it liveable
Lemmy has enough mods. But given that 99% of redditors weren’t affected by the changes, Lemmy just doesn’t have the urgency.
Big subreddits are protesting instead of switching to Lemmy.
One adv is that Lemmy can tap into Mastodon users. But even that I have not seen happenning.
I will be happy to be proved wrong tho. Let’s see…
Well duplicate communities can thrive both on reddit and Lemmy. You can imagine a community with several thousand users on Lemmy would still be relatively active enough to have quality content and discussions. In fact I’ve noticed this myself and it’s only getting better over the past few weeks.
Rather than all of nothing approach, just think of it as both can co-exist for now. Eventually let’s hope reddit will die its slow death it won’t be anything like the death spiral of Twitter.
