IMO fediverse is big enough now to serve as reddit replacement.
It's not the size, it's the content. Lemmyverse is a lot more serious and honestly, gloomy. Average age seems to be quite higher too. If all you used reddit for was news, politics, technical discussion and porn lemmy might be perfectly fine but there's way less meme or entertainment content here
The way I see it is that when I've run out of content on Lemmy, that's my indication to put down my phone and do something else. My buddy framed it in that way during a discussion we had the other day and I think he hit the nail on the head.
If I only browsed my subscribed feed that'd maybe amount to to 5-10 minutes of stuff a day. On the other hand if I open the all feed there's an endless steam of the stuff I mentioned above. As I said, what's lacking isn't volume it's the content of the volume
