Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Yes, we are here. But how do we get the rest of the population over? We are still more complicated to use in comparison to centralized networks. That's why most people are hesitant to join. This and exposure, of course.
I have heard from many people, and also from many YouTube influencers, that they add "reddit" to the end of their search query. So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it's real people, not shitty SEO content.
True. But forums don't get the activity they deserve because of centralized networks that take it from them.
Let's change that! What can we do to strengthen and grow the Fediverse?
Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?
I haven't had that many problems with bots on Reddit.
