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?

    Personally, not in the near future. If the process to sign up gets more streamlined along with people not worrying too much about the federation part, then yeah it has a chance. I saw some reddit threads on a post that explains how federation works, and there was a lot of push back because they felt they had needed to understand everything to even use the website.

        Haha, honestly I feel similarly. I only really started learning about it after I signed up because I was trying to figure out why the word “federated” was being thrown around a lot.

      The signup process is a barrier at the moment that will have to be addressed. Other than that, I don’t really see why it couldn’t be the new, improved reddit.

        I though the signup process itself was rather straight-forward, I don’t necessarily understand where the confusion lies. I signed up for Lemmy like I would any other website once I learned that your account carries across instances. Maybe folk just get caught up on whether or not it’s the right instance to sign up on.
