Lemmy can't grow niche communities without significantly larger number of users.

Lots of users will not replace Reddit with Lemmy without access to the niche subreddits they're active in.

Personally, I still use Reddit for niche communities that just aren't present on Lemmy.

Although, if they ever shut down RedReader's API access that would force my hand, as the official app is unusable IMO.

    I use Narwhal 2 for now. $5 a month is a small price to pay for the largest aggregation of information outside of Wikipedia.

    Once they force the proprietary app on me I’ll likely be out. It’s a bloated cartoonish app.

    I like Lemmy a lot but like people are saying it needs more users. I try and post my own content to practice what I preach.
