Since I joined Reddit six months ago, I don’t know anything about Digg, so what happened?

    Exactly. Those of us here right now, and especially those of us that are staying on Lemmy after the dust settles will be just a first wave of the most hardcore, old-fashioned or dedicated users who wanted to use Reddit to its fullest extent. But we’re still a tiny minority.

    One large subreddit has at least 10,000 active users at a time a lot of the time. Meanwhile, the largest Lemmy instance is about that size. We’re just the first batch to smell the nastiness coming from a distance and leave before it gets too bad.

    Personally, I think future Reddit will just be a cheap Instagram or TikTok clone, where you have a lot of content catering to people in your region and the least common denominator.
