You're exaggerating a little bit. Reddit is more alive than alive.
Fish can be bloated, too.
... and Linux is not Unix. BSD and Solaris are, in my opinion, much better than any Linux. The problem is that BSD suffers from hardware incompatibility, and there are very few application programs for the current Solaris.
Is this one of the endless hints that there is no karma in Lemmy? Have you seen the little up and down arrows under every post and comment? One of my comments recently got forty-five down arrows and I'll see how many dislikes this comment gets.
The lists of smartphones on the Postmarket OS and UBPorts websites can be used as a basis. Theoretically, you can use for experiments phones that come with alternative firmware directly from the factory. OnePlus, for example. You could buy a Pinephone and experiment with mobile Linux.

I know such a man personally. He didn't poop for two months straight, and then he had five feet of intestine cut out.
I'm trying to figure out what kind of blackout you're talking about. I open up (oh my God, I feel like a heretic) Reddit and guess what? Hardly anything has changed on Reddit. My feed is still there. Yes, a grand total of five ever-fronting subs stopped working, ten more subs took a formal vote, and... it's still the same. Every social network goes the way of monetizing content. I first joined Reddit in 2015, at the time it was an incomprehensible pseudo-social network with an awkward interface. It took almost 18 years before Reddit became usable. But blackout is still a long way off. While kbin/lemmy is consolidated by the thought of blackout, but people can't stay in suspense for long.
Lemmy is very similar to Matrix. By the way, there are channels in Matrix. There are communities on Telegram....
Reddit has long survived with the help of pornography makers. Reddit does not face a quick death.
Have you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?
