It's amazing how many of them don't get that Reddit was built over a very long period of time. A lot of those Niche subreddits didn't exist early on. It took a while

100% agree. A lot of my favorite subreddits, were over 9 years old! "The Great Lemmy Migration" (aka Reddit Third-Party App Fiasco) only happened less than 3 years ago. Plus, the internet has so many more places to congregate in since 9 years ago. So Lemmy's numbers are probably going to be lower overall, even with years passed. Which I'm totally fine with. I'd like for it to grow more in good content shared by more people on here, versus low quality content. This should come with time.
