I'm dealing with this with my 10 year old daughter, all her friends have social media, Facebook Messenger etc.
I found delta chat, which uses IMAP email, but presents it in a chat format, she just needed her friends email accounts, easy. And it killed the desire for messenger.
We also recently setup her own website with a forum, so she and her friends can write stories, share images etc. We haven't got to her actually building her own homepage yet, but it's coming.
She hasn't experienced mass social media yet, so having her own (sub)domain with a forum, her email@domain, etc is exciting for her and is letting her express herself on a platform that me and her can both fully control.
I would like Lemmy to still gain in popularity, the subs I'm subscribed to are still pretty dead, and I'm still going back to Reddit for some specific band related subs.
Definitely don't think it needs to be near as big as Reddit though, the reposts to whore for karma, and overdone shit-posting and bots that come from something that big are not missed.
Still waiting for them to increase thc limits on edibles!
Grey market I can get 10x20mg gummies for $14, and I'm good with one of them.
I'm also a fan of the beverages, but I would like to have an affordable 12 pack of say 2.5mg drinks so I can take a case to drink casually throughout the day
