The groundwork made in the apps, frontends, tools and instances is finally paying off. The masses are noticing the value!

What happened 2023?
3rd party API restrictions as they ramped up for their IPO and the shitshow that ensued.
The other answers are correct, I just wanted to add that they're talking about Reddit
The first time people actually joined lemmy, before then was probably like 1 instance with near-dead activity.
I remember there were reddit-likes too, they just didnt work with fediverse. And were mostly....well almost all were unsavory. Like they were ONLY populated with people reddit didnt want anymore. Communities with banned content. So not the greatest.
Im glad lemmy/piefed/kbin and all other activityhub/fediverse alternatives are out there.
