Reddit still holds a ton of valuable info in niche topics which will take Lemmy years to build, and that's only if the niche communities here ever see the light of day. I've deleted most of the useless content I have there, but the more helpful ones I'll leave for the sake of others like me who still visit occasionally for answers you can't get anywhere else.
For sure. I hope that Lemmy becomes one of several reddit-like platforms that can compete against Reddit. It's going to be hard considering how Lemmy is designed but it's going to be nice to have a more decentralised social media presence. I would love if something would come and defeat Facebook as well... I only use it to stay in touch with friends.
I use Signal to stay in contact with friends and family. Works well for me anyways.
