Well, you said it yourself, you're able to comment using your Db0 account on Lemmy.world.
Which websites can you post to using your Reddit account besides Reddit?
But how is that a benefit to the user? Instead of one large user base there’s a bunch of tiny ones scattered about fracturing the community and inhibiting growth.
Niche communities that existed on Reddit I doubt will ever exist here, at least anywhere near the user base as they had in Reddit before it went to shit.
On the contrary, a bunch of scattered communities create one large user base. The people you see in this thread all come from a bunch of different websites and services. You'll see users from startrek.website discussing woodworking in communities hosted by lemmy.ca.
On top of this, someone could make an instance dedicated to that niche subject and similar topics, and you could subscribe with the account you already have somewhere else instead of having to periodically check that niche instance.
Right now the problem is finding those instances, and generally finding reliable instances that won’t suddenly go offline
