This is not going to be a blogpost about "Why do people still use Reddit instead of everyone moving to Lemmy?". I noticed that even with Mastodon users, who already understand and like the advantages of decentralized platforms, the usage of Lemmy is extremely small, and more people use Reddit. Most of them haven't even heard of Lemmy. To be fair, the Reddit usage also seems to be fairly low.

I don't know if more people make lemmy automatically more shitty. After all this community started with a few hand fulls of reddits banned political extremists which tended to be the most annoying part at reddit (at least for me). New users at lemmy learn pretty quickly to ignore/ban pricks. I'd hope we get more content (and again advise anyone alread here to share their interests by posting in the dedicated communities).
