Having more users isn't going to help if the core developers are anti-diversity.
In Lemmy – A link aggregator for the fediverseI don't think Lemmy wants to be open to different opinions either: https://github.com/innereq/lenny#the-lemmy-problem
In Lemmy – A link aggregator for the fediverseThe problem with Retalk is this: It’s closed sourced.
If we want to talk about Reddit alternatives, I would rather we look at ones which are open source, including Reddit itself until 2017 [1], the Mastodon Twitter-like web app [2], Discourse [3], Lemmy [4] (use a fork [5] if you can’t stand the slur filter), and the old school PHP discussions boards like PhpBB [6] and MyBB [7].

In Lemmy – A link aggregator for the fediverseThe front-end is still buggy and needs a designer's touch. And the real-time aspects wear thin at scale with all the notifications in a mismatch of languages showing up in the main feed. Lemmy is practically unusable without a personal feed filter, it seems that of the new reddit alternatives only retalk_[1] want to get this right.
If you do decide to run an instance of lemmy be sure to nuke the absurd word filter - the code is designed to make it as difficult as possible to change out. Thankfully some nice souls [2] are maintaining that anti-feature removal.
