    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.
