@lvxferre @Generator While I can see a reality wherein this could happen, I believe that most users simply don't posess the drive and passionate disdain for the platform required to understand and migrate to Lemmy from Reddit, especially compared to Lemmys growing but currently still vastly inferior content stream. Thus most, even if they sign up, will not stick with Lemmy.
In the running would also be the classic "strike while the iron's hot" capitalist move of creating a reddit alternative that is more uniform and appealing to end users but with the funding to make sleek apps and functional content rec algos.
No doubt, Reddit is kind of dead in the water the way things have been going and theres no shot things go back to the way they were, but I would be surprised if Lemmy fills those shoes. Lemmy inherently appeals to a different audience that reddit formerly encompassed, but reddit also appealed to a whole dirth of other users that will have no good reason to come to Lemmy.
@eric5949 @gronjo45 Used Endeavour as a "noob" user, had yay and gnome and it is one of the most straightforward and logical OS's I've ever used. I came to it after like a week on mint.
