The main reason I stay there are niche subreddits.

Even bigger ones are dead here.

I saw that 2-3year ago people try to copy paste stuff from reddit, but I see its discontinued.

What happend?

    That was when Reddit killed their API for apps and started charging money for it. It lead to the first lemmy exodus.

    Around that time there was a lot of attempts to build community and some people felt it was useful to bootstrap lemmy with Reddit content.

    It mostly resulted in a lot of dead end posts and crap, so I think it got dialled back a lot. It was a lot of noise that people hated/defederated from.
