    Yeah, Reddit will actually need to kill itself, which, with how it’s being run, isn’t out of the question. Or, something no one else has thought of has to do something better. I don’t know that you can have essentially a Reddit clone ever have the user base for a lot of those niche communities to exist. Because they already do.

    It’s hard for me to use Lemmy largely due to this. Unfortunately the communities I used Reddit for, really don’t exist anywhere else, so I still use Reddit, granted, in browser, and I no longer comment or engage with anything. But, it is the only place to get news and discourse for some of the things I like.

    I sometimes consider attempting to create a more niche community here occasionally, but, to what end? I don’t have the sources or inside knowledge for some things. Nor do I have time for it realistically. Sad really, I’d like Reddit to die as much as any of us. But, I don’t see it happening. I do like it better here though in terms of actual engagement, when it happens.
