Tbf there is FAR more content there, and also somehow less authoritarianism and echo chamber effect than here - like we have the modlog but they have modmail and the ability for people to continue their already started conversations on posts after removal from the sub, while here (without even a notification sent to the user) we simply have a message like “Rule 1” (which says nothing at all about why a message might have been removed…?).
If we want to attract more users, then like Bluesky, we need to do better at meeting the desires that users actually have, rather than like Mastodon simply complain why nobody wants to come here. PieFed, Mbin, and Sublinks are attempting to do that, so there’s hope, but we are still a long ways away yet.
Bluesky has a lot of momentum and no one cares about mastodon. So I do think bluesky will likely remain a fixture. But I don’t think it’s the thing that replaces reddit. It’s the thing that replaces twitter.
That, and if you need actual information from Reddit rather than just want to find a place to hang out and chat. The people who need certain content must go to wherever that is.
Unpopular opinion: they like it there, and aren’t going to switch no matter what happens. We’ll see.
They’re far too addicted to the algorithmic brain rot to switch of their free will.

There will, some day, be a mass exodus away from reddit. But it’s not gonna be to lemmy.
Do you think it will be to Bluesky?
One day it could be to PieFed, or Sublinks, but everyone banned for Rule 1 from ML knows that it won’t be to “Lemmy”.
