    To be honest, I think the best way to get Lemmy to grow in the near term will probably be getting more people to use both Mastodon and Lemmy, rather then hoping more people will shake away from reddit. I’m active on Lemmy but probably use mastodon more.

      Ironically I’m the inverse. I spent some time on Mastodon, but I’m more into the Reddit/Lemmy format.

      What I’d really like to see is the ActivityPub API being used to it’s best ability. Theoretically, if it were better implemented on both Mastodon, Lemmy and other ActivityPub fediverse infrastructure, We could be able to see Mastodon posts on Lemmy instances as though they were always a Lemmy post, and vice versa.

        Not so sure about this one, think part of what was good about Reddit/twitter/Tumblr/whatever is that they all kept a unique identity that catered to different tastes in content

        If we just merge everything into one we lose that
