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 gloomyness is definitely a problem. Progressives are usually better at empathy so they feel everyone's pain. And if you are looking for it you'll find shit and pain all day long.
We need more positive posts on here.
Then post some please.
Be the change you wish to see in this world
