This is a Peertube exclusive video where I'm just ranting about Reddit.

Even Reddit fifteen years ago had active niche communities, which Lemmy does not (because they're all still on reddit). Lemmy has to compete where reddit didn't. There was like a bbs before there was /r/spooncarving (or whatever).

We're having this conversation on a community about an open source picture hosting platform. How much more niche do we need to get??

Before Reddit there was fark, slashdot, and a few others. They're probably still around since dying takes forever. Reddit had to compete, but the user experience was better than the others. Now it's not.

Fark is better than ever honestly, though not quite as left leaning in the comments anymore but it is pretty civil
