You hit the nail on the head. Revanced for Sync means I can browse reddit exactly as I did, and I lost interest in Lemmy pretty quickly after installing it. Lemmy is nice but feels too much like the reddit of old which was all tech/nerdy stuff and atheism apologists. It’s nice but it just lacks the diversity that, over time, made reddit unique.

I spent a couple weeks in Poland exactly in August 2013 and I distinctly remember a huge Firefox OS billboard on the Warsaw Central train station building.

It’s still a drop in the ocean for reddit and the people who left (or just spend less time on it) were never the target audience of this “new course”. Reddit will be just fine.

This was largely the norm even in the western world up until the late 1940s. What sucks is that in the process we’ve lost “the village” to help raising kids and now couples just try and power through on their own.
