I’d like to see a sudden growth in Lemmy and fall of Reddit, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near

I don't. Let the idiots stay on reddit. Leave lemmy how it is. Is it so terrible that one might have to visit reddit to find some niche communities?

I don't disagree with you!

I just would like to see certain niche communities grow here too because Lemmy is great and (so far) it feels like the conversations here are nicer, so I'd like people to move here to make Lemmy even better

Fair point.

There's nothing wrong with Lemmy growing in an organic sustainable way, but I dislike the attitude that lemmy ought to be a reddit replacement or that lemmy should grow from the ashes of reddit.

Lemmy should be it's own thing with it's own culture and history and communities.

I get a bit peeved when lemmy users (not necessarily you) get a bit obsessive about transferring communities to lemmy from reddit. Just focus on creating good content for Lemmy and forget about the rest.
