Why do people always go for Reddit as this comparison? It’s not even the most popular social media. Is it because the question “How can we make Lemmy as popular as Facebook” makes it clear why that isn’t something the users would want?
I imagine it’s because Reddit is closer to the format of Lemmy and it’s something we’re more familiar with. I also wouldn’t have known that Facebook was more popular because it’s not something that anyone in my circle uses, but a lot of them use Reddit.
