Like with twitter, reddit has a lot of momentum behind it. I prefer lemmy but certain communities(subreddits) just don’t exist on it.

They also don’t know what the current US adminstration will do next. As soon as the tarrifs were struck down Trump implemented new ones. And the thing is that he wasn’t even given as much as a stern talking to for implementing these illegal world affecting tarrifs. In other nations these would have been career ending.
