    It’s inevitable with things on the internet. If Lemmy is successful, it will become like reddit too.

      Somewhat but reddit drew a lot of people in with celebrities. The people attracted to celebrities and image heavy content will be more drawn to Threads instead of Lemmy. At least imho

        You find Tildes image heavy compared to Lemmy? I have the opposite experience. Maybe I’m subscribed to some image heavy communities here?

      Yes and no…I am on lemmy.nz and browsing by local / subscribed eliminates all of the memes and bullshit.

      I do browse by all every now and then…but it is not my preferred setting.
