My take, be pragmatic. I still go to my city and career subreddit because that’s where I get my city news and career advice. And I’m in Lemmy because it really does feel like the Reddit of 2008-2014 and I love it here.
Read my post about how reddit went from just 85,000 users in 2008 to 500 million active users in 2023: https://old.lemmy.ca/post/2780188. Reddit didn’t grow overnight. It took 15 years to grow to where it is now.
