MODERATORS
Fundimentally, as long as people get enough content to last their commute/poop/lunch break without crawling back to reddit for additional memes, Lemmy will be in a good position to make it.
But I agree with you, discussions about reddit don't make for good content for everyone in a sustainable way. Those discussions I'd wager appeal most to the true believers who left on principle, not the average user.
As of right now, I'm finding Lemmy has more than enough content for my daily browsing. However, that's because I took a few hours last month scouring as many instances as possible for the highest usercount communities that I wanted to get in my feed.
Reddit has a decent default sub list, and that's what's going to push new people away from Lemmy imo. I was frustrated enough with Spez to ditch reddit and dedicate a few hours to making this my new home.
Lots of people aren't going to want to put that effort in, especially when their feed at Reddit was not effected by any of the changes made.
