Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?

I don't remember what caused the Voat's origin, except it involved Reddit HQ. And then it went under in 2020.

What's different about this time and with Lemmy to make it a feasible alternative to Reddit? Is it random chance?

  • Voat was a replica of Reddit in design. One centralized server. We would have ended up in the same crappy place even if that were a success because at some point they would have wanted to monetize it also.

    You have to do some reading and learn about the technology behind Lemmy and federation to understand.

    • I think the other Motorheads did a fair job of explaining.
