I understand you miss it. Most of us do too. But Reddit decided they didn't need us. So just let it die on it's own. We don't need it anymore.
Reddit unfortunately won't die though.
It's much much much more likely that Lemmy will die over time.
Why do you think that?
Reddit cannot die unless their management does some insane thing that affects majority of user base. Killing 3rd party apps impacted a small minority so it was largely nothing. It is way too popular and useful to die at this point.
As for Lemmy, will be interesting to see how eventual operational cost problems will be resolved. Lemmy (Activity Pub?) is also pretty inefficient and does a lot of data duplication due to being decentralized. Centralized systems like Reddit are much more efficient.
Yup. I'm excited about P2P alternatives, where you get the benefits of centralization (one namespace like /r/whatever instead of instance/c/whatever) as well as the benefits of decentralization (no single point of failure).
