Do you guys think this is the start of something bigger?

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?
You're viewing a single thread.
It'll come and go like all the rest. AOL, AIM, IRC, message boards, myspace, livejournal, digg, fark, slashdot, reddit, lemmy...???
For the most part I agree with you - the best I can hope for is that the fedi philosophy persists in some way, even if it's still a little niche. I don't even expect any of this to become 100% mainstream.
Assuming Lemmy actually takes off as a reddit replacement, it likely will. Most of the time when a new service supplants the old, they take a huge chunk of what made the previous service great and fixes the parts that made it not great. Forums made Usenet groups better, reddit made forums better (fuck forum comment formatting honestly), and Lemmy will hopefully make reddit better!
I worked at bebo, does anyone still know it today? 😂
Yes! I got suspended at school for drawing a rude picture of my teacher on the "Wall" feature bebo had haha
If it holds as long as Reddit before the next big thing, I'm happy.
