Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.

I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!

@lemmy @LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it

What makes you say Mastodon isn’t getting any traction? To me https://mastodon-analytics.com tells a different story.

I agree a well thought out centralised Reddit alternative could swoop in, but I’m in no hurry to look at anything other than Fediverse alternatives. I see no compelling reason to.

Judging by user count alone is deceiving, in my opinion. We need to look at how many “big Twitter personas / companies” are moving to Mastodon, because they are the ones generating content and increasing traction.

As it is right now, I only see some people creating Mastodon accounts and posting 1:1 with what they still post on Twitter. This is not enough.

But at the same time, all migrations take time and we will only be able to determine a “winner” after months if not years of this process taking place.

I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for the best still.

Quadrupling the daily active user to 1.1-1.2M is so far so good. I don't know how different your story is but that is barely 0.5% that of Twitter still.
