While I like and use Lemmy on mobile, it’s really just not the same niche as Reddit, because of the tiny (by comparison) userbase and fractured communities across servers.
If the Fediverse wants to take off as the dominant platform type, then we would need a larger audience willing to engage and popularize the idea… At least for “social” platforms like this.
And a mindset like that is exactly why federated internet will always be a niche thing. “Dummy” is an arbitrary term. Everyone is a dummy in some regard.
That could not be less of an issue. Filtering out the dummies is a feature.
