%100 this. I have Mastodon and use it sparingly because I found a good community but I still find myself going back to Twitter because most of the people I follow on Twitter haven’t moved and most of the people I follow on Twitter are celebrities or influencers. The only way a #twittermigration will work is if most of the influencers and celebrities move off the platform as that’s the content most regular users go for. With Reddit however we just need people that create good content to move, the lurkers will follow the content regardless of how “complicated” the platform is. The reddit lurkers won’t stay on Reddit if there isn’t any quality content being posted there, they may be satiated with reposts for a while but eventually they will leave and go looking for the content and if that content is on Kbin/Lemmy they will come here.
