I think it is annoying that most posts, like this one, are about Lemmy itself. I hope this will change soon.
I've been thinking about this as well. Most reddit clones or reddit-likes in the last decade have failed after a wave of talking about how much "better" or "different" it is from reddit.
There's an imbalance in the userbase that makes it impossible to compare to the digg migration or past forum community migrations.
What I mean by that is before digg died or fark or slashdot or msn messenger or myspace... the competitor was not only alive but thriving with an organically built local community.
The difference here can be seen in how "reddit refugees" are not looking to integrate but rather supplant. If not intentionally, simply by sheer numbers.
I don't think there is an answer to this in a world where the internet has become 5 or so companies. At least not until there is at least an attempt at a more federated possibility. Like there was in the days of friendster and before.
