    Lemmy is a drop in the bucket compared to Reddit by any metric you want to use. It’s not even close.

    But yeah, eventually Reddit will be replaced. Facebook is going through that transition now, and we’ll see how well they can retain users with Threads and Instagram.

      I never made a claim that Lemmy was even remotely comparable to reddit in size. Just stating that reddit users fled to here, when reddit made staggering changes affecting many.

        Eventually reddit will make way for something else (and already has to some degree with its shedding of users to Lemmy).

        It’s a blip, a pretty insignificant one at that.

        It’ll probably eventually happen, but I doubt Lemmy will be a significant part of it. But who knows, maybe I’m wrong.
