I don’t remember what caused the Voat’s origin, except it involved Reddit HQ. And then it went under in 2020.

What’s different about this time and with Lemmy to make it a feasible alternative to Reddit? Is it random chance?

    It’s already gone down. Beehaw has almost most other large instances defederated because of Beehaw’s admins having beef.

      Yeah, Beehaw want to maintain a distinct identity and posting style from Reddit, so they have preemptively defederated many of the most popular Reddit-like instances.
