What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    This is my first comment! :)

    I really think that lemmy can be as popular as Reddit. I just downloaded an app called connect for lemmy on my android and the experience is just the same as Reddit. One good app (like Sync for Reddit, Apollo, etc.) might be what is needed.

      Not my first comment, but very long (11years) lurker, and I must say, Connect has both replaced the spot of RIF as well as the void in my brain.

        Yeah. :)

        I have been a Reddit user for longer than 10 years I think. And I check Reddit with my phone daily. I admit, that without Reddit there is a void to be filled and connect for lemmy does exactly just that. :D.

        I really see no reason that lemmy can’t be as big a Reddit, given enough time and exposure.

        I’m a bad fediverser and still have my Reddit and Twitter apps installed, but only until Rubén’s Boost stops working. Then I’ll be stuck choosing between Connect and Boost when Rubén releases his Lemmy client

          Same here. I’m on Reddit until Boost stops working.

          Seems I’ll be stuck on Twitter for a while, though, as most of the people I follow on Twitter haven’t moved over to Mastodon or at least started posting to both.

          Just this morning I was debating if I should go ahead and start using Connect and then switch to Boost when it releases, or instead to just wait and continue using my browser until Boost.

            For me, at least, I don’t want to pigeonhole myself into a single client just because I know what the experience is like from his Reddit client. I’m willing to try whichever clients are out there until I find something I’m fully happy with.
