Lemmy can’t be as big as Reddit, there will also never be a “The Lemmy” network, all instances have their own rules and decide which instances to federate with.
I am on lemmy.zip, my lemmy experience is different from users on lemmy.world, hexbear, lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and so on.
We overlap in many ways, but there is no one true Lemmy experience, Reddit has a one true experience, if you create two new Reddit users, you can subscribe them both to the same Subreddits, but if you create a new user on lemmy.zip and lemmy.world, you may not be able to, since one might not be federated with with all instances the other is.
As for payment vouchers, since there is no core Lemmy, funds won’t be shared between instances, so we are stuck with funding individual Lemmy instances and the Lemmy dev team.
