What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    I mean… Reddit itself is already very niche

    Lemmy probably won’t every be mainstream. Mastodon, probably, not confident about it.

      I don’t think Reddit is very niche, it’s one of the most trafficked websites in the world. Do I think all of those users will move to Lemmy? Not at all, especially since most of those people are using it to augment their Google searches. But as the higher quality content moves, I can see Lemmy (or a different fediverse alternative) being “the place to go” instead. I think discoverabilty and moderation tools are going to be key to bringing people over. I think it will foster the kind of place that draws in more people.

      As for Mastodon idk. BlueSky seems interesting, but I don’t trust Jack Dorsey to not cave to venture capital and shareholder interests and enshittify the website like every other social media has. I give it five years lol.
