If elon musk (or any far-right billionaire) bought Reddit, do you think there will be a mass exodus to alternatives like Lemmy, similar to the twitter exodus to Bluesky? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Lemmy is not ready for a more mainstream user base.

Only because of networking effects. The software itself is suitable, but people don't mass migrate to another platform until a critical mass has moved there first.

The network effect is definitely at play. But the usability is not really there yet. Just finding communities through the app I’m using is not always working right.
