Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

    The goals of federated social media and corporate social media. Unlike siloed corporate social media, the fediverse platforms are not meant to compete with one another for being the ‘top dog’ so to speak. The idea is just diversity amongst the platforms and different options for people with different preferences. Since the fediverse is not concerned with revenue or appealing to a venture capitalist, competition is unimportant and I hope it stays that way.

      The more users the more content there is though which is ultimately what I want as a user.

      This is even more important for more niche communities a lot of which are still very quiet/dead/non-existent on Lemmy relative to reddit.
