But still it is not reddit before reddit api changes.

Nor Mastodon is Twitter in any moment of Twitter's recent history.

Anyway. Regarding your post: it seems to me that the hashtag+short reply system is simply more popular than the community+long reply system. Even then, when compared with the platforms that it competes with, Lemmy's popularity is proportional to the one of Mastodon and other Twitter alternatives.
