What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    Yes! Very much this. Imagine if lemmy would grow to just a few million users. That’s the size of Digg when the migration to Reddit happened! Not everything needs to have a billion users and there’s more engagement in small communities anyway.

      There’s a reason Reddit has the reputation of being a cesspool, barring some smaller niche communities. Having everyone on the same platform just spreads brainrot until it becomes a pointless exercise of repeating the same comments/posts.

      On the hand, smaller communties with a minor barrier to entry seems to encourage much more worthwhile engagement.
