Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

How do you quantify "beat?" More users? More activity? Revenue?
Lemmy and Reddit aren't really in competition. They can both exist and have separate user bases.
This. Beating Reddit is not the point, and it sounds resentful. It’s good to let go. I would say that the point is to built a sustainable, healthy, and compelling community, and I’m rooting for it to be on its way there.
Absolutely this. They're not competing. They're not the same thing. It's like asking when texting will beat gmail.
One is a private for profit enterprise. The other is an open standard with lots of entities using that standard.

More activity would be it.
More users and activities.
