This is the first time I'm seeing a way to host a full Bluesky network, I think. It seems like a big step towards full federation beyond appviews and personal data servers.

Seems like a lot of people prefer bluesky for whatever reason. I wouldn’t know since I’ve no interest in either.

I think it's just discoverability of content, and probably some UX. Mastodon isn't really a great show of what ActivityPub can do. They intentionally don't have an "algorithm" or any kind of content discoverability. Also the federation is limited to following users, on Lemmy you can follow topics and that causes all their posts and comments to federate.

Just today I heard Bluesky is making a Reddit alternative. I'm a bit worried they overtake Lemmy.

What's the point in them making a reddit alternative when they can just spin up their own Lemmy instances? That seems pointless.

You could say the same thing about why they made Bluesky when Mastodon exists
