Judging by the comments you get if you suggest switching away from Reddit, Reddit will do very well. I won’t be there, but they’ll be successful even if the site goes more to shit.
It is shocking how emotionally attached some people seem to be to Reddit and how they lash out when you suggest alternatives.
I wonder if it’s an age thing, people pushing 40 like me have seen plenty of sites come and go an have transitioned with them. If you’re under say 25, you may have been using Reddit your whole life on the internet.
Lemmy really reminds me of those old BBSes though – I’m connecting to my local server, it’s federating messages like FIDOnet used to do, just much faster :)

Hey I’m barely 20, didn’t use 3rd party slots, and I still migrated here.
Edit:3rd party apps*
Dialup BBSes->usenet->Slashdot->Digg->Reddit->Lemmy. I’m sure it’ll happen again.
