Is anyone here so hardcore that they don’t even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?

This is sadly it. If it gets niche enough, there’s no way around Reddit.
I completely replaced Reddit with Lemmy for political topics, for wasting time, for doom scrolling and so on. But when I need information about a niche topic (e.g. how to overclock the 15yo netbook I recently got), there’s just no way around Reddit.
That’s the difference between 50k monthly active users and 360mio weekly active users. There are dozens of subreddits that have more active users than all of Lemmy combined…
Sadly, the big exodus is still pending.
Or luckily, considering how badly Lemmy instances scale. If a few million users were to migrate over to Lemmy, probably the whole system would just collapse.
