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?

No, there a lots of tiny bits of things that just make it a difficult experience compared to reddit.
true, but reddit was not user friendly at first either. It's one of the reasons why 3rd party apps got so big. In it's current state, it will not compete with reddit. But expect it to improve overtime. Also, some apps are already solving this problem. The biggest issue is onboarding is very confusing. There needs to be a UI that just automatically suggest an instance and give you an option to change it if you're an advanced user?
