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?

      I think it’s because even if a bunch of instances follow each other off a cliff, there’s still going to be plenty who didn’t join that group that will survive.

        Huh, I guess the survival part just isn’t really what I would associate with lemmings, it’s the following each other blindly part (even if it turned out to be the result of a fake documentary).
