Here's the thing. I don't know if it will get a massive amount of usage. Lemmy is fine right now but not having the userbase that reddit has is brutal. I want to talk sports with people but all the sports communities are dead. If I look at an Orioles community the game threads have 12 comments all by bots giving pitching/scoring updates.

Give it time. What's important is that lemmy has hit critical mass and has many great clients that are far better than the Reddit ones. It will grow and not shrink. It's the long game, doesn't matter that it's not big enough to support sports communities yet, it will get there and it's still very early days on this platform.

Lemmy is already significantly more active than when I first joined, and that was only 2 months ago.
