Reddit also used to be that way. FFS I think the best time on the Internet was that when we were all on traditional phpBB-style forums, where there was no "algorithm" at all (though I admit the concept doesn't scale well and they too have their structural problems).
God i miss traditional forums
Have you seen the maple syrup meme video? (Sorry for the TikTok link.)

This was a pretty amazing feature of everyone using Reddit. Lemmy isnt close to that for specific interests yet. League of Legends was one of the biggest subreddits, but any league community here is basically dead.
It's a lot harder to get critical mass for Lemmy than it is for Mastodon. And Mastodon migration hasn't been what I think it should be. A good, reliable, large instance on .com or .net domain would probably go a long way for adoption.
Mozilla is supposedly releasing https://mozilla.social Mastodon instance I'm early 2023. Any day now... But it's understandable if they want to wait for some event to open.
