If Reddit were to revert it’s changes to 3rd party apps would you stay on Lemmy or move back to Reddit?

    after I found out about the fediverse I’ve wondered why not more people use it and why it wasn’t already popular

        I think that’s true for mastodon, but I suspect it’s going to be way less true for Reddit

        Twitter’s value proposition is roughly “one big giant conversation with everyone” and the federation stuff adds some complexity to that.

        Reddit already acted like a federation. There are ui and discoverability issues but they seem very solvable.

      Because most people just don’t understand it. It’s has a high barrier of entry (relatively speaking) and there aren’t really any good mobile apps. While I love the idea of the fed Ivette I just can’t imagine trying to explain it to everyone that’s isn’t tech savvy.
