How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there? - eviltoast

Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

    And how do you filter out the heavy handedness of mods like what was on WhitePeopleTwitter where if you didn’t fall in line with whatever agenda they followed, you were banned and reported to Reddit admin?

    With growth, you can expect this to happen here.

      Well I expect that the federation model that allows multiple communities to grab the same namespace combined with instance admins that will be more active in removing openly hostile users and mods will help.
