How do you quantify "beat?" More users? More activity? Revenue?
Lemmy and Reddit aren't really in competition. They can both exist and have separate user bases.

This. Beating Reddit is not the point, and it sounds resentful. It’s good to let go. I would say that the point is to built a sustainable, healthy, and compelling community, and I’m rooting for it to be on its way there.
Absolutely this. They're not competing. They're not the same thing. It's like asking when texting will beat gmail.
One is a private for profit enterprise. The other is an open standard with lots of entities using that standard.

More users and activities.
As far as I'm concerned, it already has. I'm here, and not there.
In terms of users? It'll likely never happen, but that's fine by me. Reddit's transformation to a big evil company was s inevitable.
Lemmings have already beaten Reddit by being a better platform. All that is missing is content, which will take time.
Once the third party tools surpasses that of past reddit!
We'll never know. Spez can easily just inflate his userbase with bots and nobody would be the wiser. I mean, bots on reddit--such a novel idea...
Hell, we're actively trying to keep them out here and they still manage to fuck with our stats.
5-10 years if all the mods that striked left and people start bringing in more content. Plus a good app for us to use here would def boost the numbers. (Yes boost is coming soon) so we'll see but we would need to help the community grow and not just browse by and provide nothing to the community.
5 years.
The optimist in me says hopefully soon, but the realist in me says probably not any time soon.
Love it or hate it for what it is, Reddit is still a Titan of the big social media companies.

it might possibly never beat Reddit but one can hope
