The thing about social media, is that once enough content and eyeballs are on a platform, it pulls in even more. Posters and audiences are drawn to wherever everybody else is, like a massive object draws things in with gravity.
Currently reddit is drawing people in by its mass, not because people care about the platform. This can shift to lemmy, but it will take years. And dedicated posting😉
