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

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. 🙂
Same. I ditched Reddit because I didn’t like their increased control over the platform, and I mostly subbed to smaller communities anyway.
My main complaint right now is that it puts too much work on volunteers, and there’s no profit motive to keep it going, so I’m worried about the long term viability of the platform. It seems to be working for Mastodon and Matrix, so maybe it’s not a significant concern.
