Flying SquidReddit Takes Over Popular Subreddit Amid Moderator Protest
dlpklLemmys been a great alternative, hope it starts to take off
KuchiKopiStarts? My sibling in Christ, it’s happening already.
My lemmitard in christ it hasnt happened yet. We are only a small .1% of crossovers and the whole fediverse is still less populated than r/malefashion advice.
donutsThat is the worst metric for whether something is "taking off" or not. Reddit wasn't built in a day, and the fediverse won't be either.
Reddit kind of got lucky with the development of modern smartphones.
Old format forums that were designed for desktops were way too cluttered for mobile, especially with how small screens were back then. Reddit comes along with its streamlined take on forums as well as the ability to have a forum for any and every subject all on one site and it just took off.
AveragePigeonReddit began as a forum and was popular long before smartphones, though. And like the other person said, they didn't have an app for a long time.
It wasn’t popular long before smartphones. It was known about, sure. But the development of modern smartphones is what made Reddit one of the biggest sites in the world.
I was on it prior to that so I completely disagree
It was one of the biggest sites in the world prior to smartphones? Ok
