- lost_tourist 3y agoSure, but only nerds will use them (not necessarily a bad thing) and will never go mainstream because of the difficulty to set up and search. Monolithic site like Reddit don't have that issue at all, you log in and away you go. Until someone makes federation that easy, I only see a Reddit replacement being of similar design and composition to Reddit.
