Why even thought twitter and reddit are going into selfdestruction only twitter alternatives became somehow popular? (lemmy.world)

But still it is not reddit before reddit api changes.

Nor Mastodon is Twitter in any moment of Twitter's recent history.

Anyway. Regarding your post: it seems to me that the hashtag+short reply system is simply more popular than the community+long reply system. Even then, when compared with the platforms that it competes with, Lemmy's popularity is proportional to the one of Mastodon and other Twitter alternatives.
