I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin (sh.itjust.works)

Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

Yeah, the trigger event that basically started all this was reddit deciding they don't want third party apps anymore (and people not wanting to use reddit's app). Well, there isn't much for apps here either.

Also, the network effect is still in play. Despite the fact I'm using this fully for all my posting, I still searched for reddit threads when I finished Tears of the Kingdom, because I wanted to read people's thoughts on various topics and those reddit threads already existed. Kbin and Lemmy threads don't yet exist in the large enough numbers for the various topics I was searching for (like if other people thought the sky islands felt too copy-paste or what people thought the lore of the depths were or how many people did the story out of order). I know I can make discussions here, but at the time I just wanted to read existing discussions. It's gonna take some time for the Fediverse to catch up to that.
