The company doesn't care. They don't actually understand what reddit is/was and have decided they want it to be something else that they can squeeze money out of. Whatever they end up with is going to be bland and nothing like what it was before. Doubt it will get them what they want in the end.
They don't seem to realize Reddit isn't that special. It's a forum.. Digg and Slashdot thought they were special too Myspace before that..
They're just where most people are at the moment. That can and likely will change. Whether it's Lemmy or something else entirely.
Yeah it's not like Facebook where I need all my friends to move. I just need a few thousand people to move to Lemmy and I'll never need Reddit again.
And since Lemmy is already at, iirc, the 200,000 mark, and is only part of the greater fediverse... I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't feel lonely here.
Same. Honestly I'm getting more responses and conversations than I do in Reddit. And they're way more positive
