There aren't viable alternatives. We don't have the active niche (and not so niche) communities reddit does. And even if there was somehow a meaningful mass exodus, these little instances would break like wet toilet paper trying to hold a bowling ball.

I don't say this to be critical of lemmy. I'm happy here. Just being realistic.

Yeah we don't need to be like reddit. I'm happy if rss usage becomes stronger . So those niche communities can stay wherever they can thrive but still be reachable through rss.
