      I don’t think the feddiverse will ever be mainstream, it is too confusing for most people.

      Even I, an IT guy who has been here for about three years, am having a hard time understanding how the instances interact.

      niche

      Dead? Because Lemmy is dead. The only life here is bots reposting from Reddit. And I am talking about big themes like politics. Anything more “niche” isn’t even dead, it is completely non-existing.

        They hated the truth. It’s not dead if you like Linux and star wars. If you have any other interests, there’s a dead community for that!

        Reddit has much more activity and content, yes, but recently it feels more dead to me, not what it used to be. Now it feels like a very bland mix of the same posts again and again. Especially the main feed. The algorithms, bots and moderation policy made it into somethin much less appealing than it used to be. On Lemmy there is much less content but I find it interesting more often.

          Depends on what do you want. Narrow-themed forums for specialists are still here. But if you want a single point for overall news\fun things then yes, Reddit is the only option.
