I think it just comes down to time. More users on a platform leads to more data, more bug reports, and overall more backend development. Since Reddit is quite old, they already have worked through those growing pains. Now its Lemmy’s turn, and the more people that move over and use the platform, the more bugs and issues can be discovered faster, meaning more fixes can be tested and applied.

I feel like that’s a massive hurdle for proper scaling to overcome. One of the reasons FOSS platforms can never supersede the others
