Is it me or Reddit is starting to malfunction and getting worse? More errors, bots, and the gradual decline of the platform itself. Parts of it don’t work on some days, and it’s starting to feel like it’s falling apart.

There was never a viable alternative before now.
I’m not convinced the fediverse is a practical alternative for the masses to move to, at all.
I think Lemmy is better anyway with a smaller user base.
I don’t know about that when there is still many improvements to be made for each platform.

lemmy is but one small corner of the fediverse
Yes I am aware of that. I was indeed talking about the fediverse as a whole and not just Lemmy. That’s why I said I’m not convinced the fediverse is a viable alternative.
i feel the opposite. the point of the fediverse is mass expansion.
youre right, the fediverse is not the solution for a small community. you want small, phpbb is ready for you.
The point is mass adoption. The reality is that it’s not ready or not current feasible for mass adoption.
the reality is its brand freakin new. it took decades for email to become ubiquitous. it took decades for reddit to gather its user base.
pointing out that the fediverse is still rough around the edges for newbs is like point out that infants cant eat steak.
