I have only just joined over here on Lemmy, so let me try to explain what took me so long. Reddit, even though a shit hole, is easier to use and has ingrained itself with google for even easier use. Lemmy is a nightmare to try and find boards ya interested in for common people, as each .com is it's own sign up and own set of boards, it's not you go to one site, sign up and find what ya want, you need to know each little lemmy.insertnamehere to find a certain ammount of boards.

This is just my experience and everyone could be different, basically put, laziness and simplicity i think are the two main reasons.

EDIT: not to mention that just took about 5mins to post..... wtf is up with this site?
