The folks over at r/RedditAlternatives don’t seem to be liking the idea of the Fediverse (Lemmy, Kbin, etc) all that much. At the end of the day, perhaps seeing the Fediverse as an alternative to Reddit is not the right mindset, because while the Fediverse sounds pretty good in theory, it still has some flaws that need to be ironed out.
But I think it’s also fine that the Fediverse isn’t for everyone. As long as we can keep a healthy community here, with nice content and discussions, we don’t need to be a “replacement”. I’m personally enjoying this so far, and Im eager to see how this will evolve!
Sad to see that many people in the larger subreddits don’t care about any of this. I guess it’s fine; I guess you don’t truly know what you have until you loose it.
