I get where you’re coming from … but I’m inclined to push back on this. I don’t think it’s sad. Reddit has many users on it and lemmy has substantially fewer. Not every interest is going to be covered by the amount of people here. It’s just a reality right now.
However convenient it is to have everything on one platform or one place, I think it’s important to recognise how much of a weapon or shield that is for big-social monopoly companies. A fractured and more open or diverse internet is, IMO, a good thing. It’s also less convenient and staying in contact with people only on reddit makes sense. But that drop in convenience is worth it, IMO, and I don’t think it’s sad.
