Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

What do you miss? I use both, reddit obv has way more users so still some unique content. But I want Lemmy to improve so that's where I am "investing" my efforts ☺️
The lack of smaller niche communities that made reddit more than a news and meme hub. Some exist but most are either dead or not even made yet.
Worse still those communities are probably the most effort to start for the least gain, but those were a big reason I used reddit for over a decade.
Not the person you replied to but personally I'd like to see some kind of random communities feature so I can discover new ones.
Most of the stuff I see is memes or US politics that I'm just not interested in.

Niche communities and diversity of thought. The majority of interactions I see here feel like back and forth conversations from the same isolated brain, and even the mildest dissenters are overly downvoted or removed from discussions.
That's what I disliked most about Reddit, and it's even more concentrated here.
