It’s a FOMO, bigger is better, kind of thing. I think some people came here looking for a replacement, which can’t happen, instead of looking for a community, which can.
It’s funny that you say that. Although it’s not I guess replacing Reddit in terms of scale, the browsing experience on Lemmy and that community feeling is actually an improvement for me.
So, I guess for me Lemmy is a more than adequate replacement. I don’t want all of Reddit here though, I think that would cause a whole lot more problems than it would solve.

Bigger is better, that’s why I got a big truck on big wheels and only eat corndogs whole while enjoying it a little too much.
It’s okay for it to die down a bit after a massive influx like we saw from Reddit.
In the long run though, if it isn’t growing it’s dying. Lemmy is still small. If it succeeds at what it’s trying to do, it should definitely grow.
It’s a little worrying that we can’t grow faster than the novelty-die-off rate. But not cause for alarm as yet.
I’m okay with it being smaller. I don’t think I want this to be Reddit-sized. I would like more users for sure but not that many.
