Exactly.
The biggest disadvantage to lemmy is just the size of the community. Reddit is established. People are there.
Pretty much every criticism people have of lemmy is worse under reddit.
Yep, my effective downtime is zero because when lemmy.ca goes down I use one of my two alts to browse the rest of the fediverse, and if one of the popular ones happens to go down then I just browse locally more. It only sucked a bit when a big piece of Canadian news happened (PM Trudeau resigning) and there was an unscheduled outage due to shitty OVH hardware and support. Thankfully our admins migrated off that server.
In contrast, when I remember Reddit was 500-ing all you could do is sit, refresh and wait.
