I’ve been using Lemmy and learning the ropes of the Fediverse and I’m really impressed - especially using wefwef which has replicated my Apollo experience very well.

There are posts and everything, just a lack of comments to read for hours on end is the only issue I have, but I believe that with more users this really could be the replacement.

Are you guys thinking the same thing? Is there evidence yet that Reddit is slowly failing and power users are migrating?

    I don’t think it’s the start, but I think something’s happening. The internet has just been through an incredibly stable period for 10 years or so, but I that finally came to an end a year or 2 back. There have been lots of smaller social media platforms popping up for a while now, and I think the landscape is finally becoming less stable and more dynamic again.

      I think just like with encyclopediae & Wikipedia, users are beginning to understand why trusting a private company with safeguarding human knowledge and access to free public debate is a very bad idea. If non-profits take care of the larger instances here I believe the Fediverse will triumph over Reddit and other centralized forums. People migrating to Lemmy right now is literally a Wikipedia moment for link aggregator forums.
