But then, why not stay on Reddit with a Revanced app?
Why go through the hoops of using an emerging platform for a link aggregator, but not a chatroom platform?
For me it's either both or none, which was what I expressed in the above comment.
I love Lemmy to death, I post here a lot, but I still know that objectively, Reddit using a Revanced 3rd party client is better: more content, more people, better mod tools.
After people left reddit as a statement against reddit's policies on 3rd party apps, Lemmy just so happened to be the next best solution.
A chatroom platform like Discord is not a reddit replacement, and I do find absurd that some subreddit communities decided to move over there instead of just going to Lemmy.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
I'm not talking about subreddits moving to Discorde, I'm talking about Lemmy instances/communities using Discord as a complementary chatroom while it's as centralised as Reddit while decentralised alternatives such as Matrix exist
