For me personally it still needs to be far bigger though. On Reddit literally every bite of news was posted and discussed for many of the hobbies I have, large or niche. Yet on Lemmy some of my interests are barely represented nevermind being a reliable source of information and news.
Post it then! This reminds me of the olden days when I used to use fairly niche forums, being the person to start a thread was pretty common. Reddit was so big that by the time you found out about something someone had already posted it. Different times over here.
I’m sure there are many others disappointed in the lack of discussion - be the person to generate the content, even if it means just stealing what’s interesting from reddit for now.
I can say what’s helped me tremendously is finding a niche instance that aligns with your interests instead of the huge generic ones
Oh I agree with that! I also want to see fediverse grow.
What I meant was: I don’t want Reddit.
Yeah, Reddit isn’t going anywhere; but we are seemingly getting a viable alternative. Before, there wasn’t really a viable alternative, which is why Reddit was comfortable making the moves it has, I think.
