My bar isn't set too high to beat Reddit.
I'd be perfectly happy if we have small but thriving communities spread throughout the fediverse on a diverse set of niche topics.
We're in a good place for memes, star trek, and general discussion, niche content still has ways to go.
But to those people that are trying and posting to niche communities, I see you and I appreciate you!
I just want more diversity of communities. That needs more diversity of users, and that needs scale.
Yeah every time Reddit pulls some shitty stunt, we get a new influx of angry people demanding algorithms, whining about federation being too complicated and picking fights.
It's like the bar just closed and everybody's going to 7-Eleven to be mad about it.
We need more activity in local communities too. Even big cities seem lacking in content.
