@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

Lemmy overall feels like old reddit when it was still run and filled by people who cared. Names are familiar, everyone rather(in some places) chill, and the server is on fire half the time. I forgotten what it was like to start to know people online. Reddit is too big to ever learn a name again unless its a "human" on the front page again. It's kinda nostalgic.

Yeah it would just be nice to have some more niche communities being run. Maybe I should help start those niche communities or something but Iโ€™m not really using Lemmy anymore but still love browsing the content

I seen a lot of attempts. I don't think we have the size to keep many smaller subs active.
