How do you quantify “beat?” More users? More activity? Revenue?
Lemmy and Reddit aren’t really in competition. They can both exist and have separate user bases.
This. Beating Reddit is not the point, and it sounds resentful. It’s good to let go. I would say that the point is to built a sustainable, healthy, and compelling community, and I’m rooting for it to be on its way there.
Absolutely this. They’re not competing. They’re not the same thing. It’s like asking when texting will beat gmail.
One is a private for profit enterprise. The other is an open standard with lots of entities using that standard.
Once the third party tools surpasses that of past reddit!
As far as I’m concerned, it already has. I’m here, and not there.
In terms of users? It’ll likely never happen, but that’s fine by me. Reddit’s transformation to a big evil company was s inevitable.
The optimist in me says hopefully soon, but the realist in me says probably not any time soon.
Love it or hate it for what it is, Reddit is still a Titan of the big social media companies.
5 years.
Lemmings have already beaten Reddit by being a better platform. All that is missing is content, which will take time.
As far as I’m concerned, it already has. I’m here, and not there.
