Unironically, I feel like this is the way to go with the fediverse. It takes the best parts of the old internet’s forums and the best part of the new internet. I hope more communities go this way instead of just being created on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world.
I was not saying that reddit was the alternative, just some bigger Lemmy instance that is more likely to not disappear because someone forgot to pay the bill. Not that I doubt the longevity of this one if it takes hold to be honest, just a train of thought
