It doesn't matter that it's not that bad, just that it's harder than staying on reddit.
It may or may not take off to the point of replacing reddit, but I think the exodus if people now and especially after the end of the month will lead to it having at least the same amount of users as Mastodon. Maybe more, since the average reddit user is probably more tech-savvy and more willing to migrate to a different platform than the average Twitter user (since they follow subreddits rather than individual users). And a roughly Mastodon sized lemmy is more than usable to replace reddit imo
Do you know what the user population of mastadon was before and after Elon's takeover?
Before Elon, it was about half an million, now it's about 4.5 million, though about a million of the new users made an account and then immediately went back to Twitter, so it's more like 3.5 million
Still, nothing to sneeze at. Glad reddit is going through the same thing right now. If peertube or whatever other YouTube fedi analogue takes off I think we could see federation of social media take off and really become its own bubble.
