This… People keep dreaming of reddit crashing and burning or going under but, realistically if that did happen a good portion of the existing userbase will filter into the fediverse somewhere, and thats a lot of inorganic growth. Currently there are a handful of popular topics, and some niche topics. Yes there are also reddit like mannerisms but, when people slowly filter in, the room can be read and the existing culture remains, when a mass intake happens (like what happend with the API debacle) the influx is faster than the adoption and the culture comes with it.
