Yeah as a lurker on Reddit (I use libreddit) I really wanna see some change for the better, Fediverses' seem to be the future, we just need to get the general masses aware of its presence :)
My concern is lemmy in general is too complicated a concept for the average user just wanting to browse. I've already encountered 2 users on reddit recently who might have stopped because of this complexity. One said he/she felt like lemmy makes its users answer queries before being able to join a sub, and one just couldn't get why there has to be different instances and was turned off because he/she couldn't quite understand how it all works.
I'm not sure I understand everything completely myself, but I'm willing to try. I don't think a lot of people do, tbh.
Lemmy will have to learn to hide the sausage-maker if they want laymen to enjoy their sausage. That is to say they'll have to make a way for the everyman to interact without the barrier to entry.
Though, no one says Lemmy has to become a AAA social media site
I'm hoping that if the reddit 3rd app developer start to pivot toward Lemmy it might help
