Reddit didn't start that specific, the best thing to grow Lemmy is be active in broad communities, not brandosando but books. When books grows large enough then a sanderverse community can be spun off, but trying to be over specialized just dilutes the users into small inactive communities.

I think that's a very good point.

This right here. Reddit started with very general based topics and only later did smaller niche subs take off.

Lemmy will get there. It's just a matter of time and it's only been a few months since the Great Reddit Migration of '23.
By this time next year, or maybe 18 months out, once instances become normalized and settled, with user tools to help find and organize them, Lemmy will then start to cause large dents in Reddit's user base.

Lol it took me way too long to realize you guys were talking about Brandon Sanderson

Actually we're enthusiasts of both Marlon Brando and sandwiches.
