    This right here. Reddit started with very general based topics and only later did smaller niche subs take off.

    Lemmy will get there. It’s just a matter of time and it’s only been a few months since the Great Reddit Migration of '23.
    By this time next year, or maybe 18 months out, once instances become normalized and settled, with user tools to help find and organize them, Lemmy will then start to cause large dents in Reddit’s user base.

    Having your own router/access point can’t be stressed enough.

    And, you don’t even need their modem. Sure it’s an additional outlay of cash, but buying your own modem gets you a nice upgrade and no worries about someone connecting to the Xfinity access point that’s bundled in their equipment.

    Even if the trash dumpster is a mere 50 feet away.

    People just don’t care. Once it’s out of their hands, no matter where it ends up, it’s someone else’s problem.

    One complex where I used to live, our trash dumpster was a full on compactor, very nicely concealed behind a small hill. Signs leading up would say, “No cardboard!” Signs plastered all over the machine, “No cardboard!” Yet, at least once, if not twice a week, the thing would be clogged because people would toss in boxes by the truckload. Not even broken down.
    Meanwhile, just around the corner, a specific dumpster meant for cardboard only that would take all of 10 more seconds to get to.
