Problem is reddit has the mass appeal that is missing here.

There are a dozen of useful/interesting things posted here while reddit has many times that.

Plus look at any game or other niche and you'll find much more activity for it on reddit than here.

I stopped using reddit when moving here and use it a ton less after 3rd party apps stopped working (and now mobile experience is horrific with their forcing their app)

But many search results still bring you there and for any discussions about products leads there too. Lemmy is still pretty lacking in many areas unfortunately
