Now to just need to replace all the other social media with open source

Think about it, open source twitter, open source tiktok, open source instagram

If we could get everyone to switch away from the corporate social media

I don’t think the user base needs to hit the size of Reddit. It just needs to reach a size of critical mass where discussions are productive. I for one have not unsubscribe from Reddit, but I have killed my paid account and will promote the use of Lemmy, wherever possible, mostly by posting and participating in the groups I’m interested in.

That is what i mean, Also, too big userbase will cause problems too.

Well, that one is debatable, and it would be a nice problem to have. The cool thing about Reddit-type functionality is that countless posts is not really a problem; the better stuff always bubbles to the top. It's completely the opposite with Twitter. The more people that post, the messier it gets and the stuff that gets bubbled to the top tends to be the stuff the least informed but funniest and highest follower count posters post or promote. Many times, your follower count is in inverse relation to your intelligence and value add.
