Do you guys think this is the start of something bigger? (lemmy.world)

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 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.
