Reddit is probably the largest potential new user pool for Lemmy, due to the similarities between the two platforms.
With 50k monthly active users, there are still a lot of communities which rely on one or two posters to keep active. For instance, TV shows are a very popular topic, we are still only one or two regular posters on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee.
We have lost a few regular posters in the last year as well, and some others might get tired to “should into the void”.
With 500k monthly active users, we would get a dozen regular posters on most communities.
I dislike Reddit as much as the average Lemmy user, but if we want Lemmy to survive, we have to get more people from there to here.
One reason why I want more people on here is so that the third-apps can get enough support to establish the same level of polish as Apollo once had. Imagine how much further we can go with the potential of open source.

Isn’t Voyager quite close that Apollo now?
I do like Voyager with its advanced search but I would say it needs more development to catch up on the same level of detail.
