For me personally it still needs to be far bigger though. On Reddit literally every bite of news was posted and discussed for many of the hobbies I have, large or niche. Yet on Lemmy some of my interests are barely represented nevermind being a reliable source of information and news.

Oh I agree with that! I also want to see fediverse grow.

What I meant was: I don't want Reddit.

Yeah, Reddit isn't going anywhere; but we are seemingly getting a viable alternative. Before, there wasn't really a viable alternative, which is why Reddit was comfortable making the moves it has, I think.

I can say what's helped me tremendously is finding a niche instance that aligns with your interests instead of the huge generic ones

Post it then! This reminds me of the olden days when I used to use fairly niche forums, being the person to start a thread was pretty common. Reddit was so big that by the time you found out about something someone had already posted it. Different times over here.
