Will Lemmy ever replace Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I was wondering what the point of lemmy was, if we can't get a certain number of people, we won't be able to thrive as a community and I don't see lots of people joining even though it is an open-source and decentralised forum unlike reddit.

There are many obvious things lemmy could do better, should I make a report about it? I think we are lagging behind and not doing things which are obvious. A better GUI for mobile website would be one of the top suggestions I have. thoughs?

Has lemmy fixed their nonstandard activitypub? I heard that lemmy and mastodon couldnt interact because of it. However, i could be wrong. Just joined this morning

Just tried to load post via fosstodon and it presents itself as a link to the lemmy op rather than having it load as an interactive thread.

But at least friendica <--> lemmy communication works smoothly.

Lemmy and Mastodon federate just fine since December (except for some minor problems).
