With apps like Mlem on iOS, we are getting very close to an Apollo+Reddit experience. How can Reddit successfully monetize what are basically just forums? What makes it special anymore ?

    Wefwef offers an almost identical experience to Apollo and is a webapp so you don’t need to mess with TestFlight and also works on Android.

    If something like this can pop up in weeks and provide all of the functionality people need, what makes Reddit valuable in the first place?

      Critical mass and inertia. That’s not a product I’d want to invest in, though.

      Lemmy has been around for years.

      to answer your question. ability to scale to millions of users and having broad appeal.

      features can be copied but scale and other non functional requirements like security takes time
