I had been hoping for some reddit alternative to emerge just in case, but whenever that happened it would be due to hate groups leading the movement making the sites that opened up become unappealing.
But, then something that finally angered more mainstream audiences is leading the charge, and finally led to the reddit alternative filled with less deranged people. It won't overtake reddit, but it doesn't need to.
the only issue now is user engagement. lemmy instances are filled with empty communities. people need to post more, especially in smaller communities.
It really feels like there are already enough people here for me to stick around. Hopefully that is true for most new users.
I feel like it's true for me, so far. There's less content, but that doesn't seem like a bad thing. You can easily keep track of all the big posts.
