Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?
What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i've been hopeful. What do you think?

Yea that's a good point. I want it to be popular enough to have a good time and business to thrive but I don't need it to have all the users from previous places. A smaller, more involved community is good for me
Yes please. First thing I had to do on new Reddit accounts was always unsubscribe from the giant, bot-infested communities.
What is crazy is that I feel like Lemmy is already approaching that fun size, you know? There's a steady flow of content and comments. But it's not full of shit yet.
Personally I would love to see it grow by enough that some of my favorite types of communities (specially state-specific and sports team specific) can thrive. But I am really not interested in Lemmy becoming big enough to rival centralized alternative platforms like reddit. Being that large brings far too much baggage along for the ride.
