do you think lemmy will ever have millions of users and niche topics or subs like reddit? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Except unlike with Reddit, we can still have the small independent instances. And there will probably be more users on them in the future than there are Lemmy users today.

    Sure, just as we have small independent email instances. But by and large the vast supermajority belong to a few large players.

    I have no doubt the same will happen to the Fediverse.

    Capitalism ruins everything in the end.

    A few large players and the ability to choose smaller instances, and have them speak to each other, is still a huge upgrade over one player (Reddit) who doesn't let other social media federate with it.

    Not as good as the ideal fediverse, but a step in the right direction.
