Ironically it’s getting more popular but to me it seems it’s getting more popular in the way facebook used to get more popular. At some point your weird uncle is on it and all the good content creators just leave.
In fact, I think at least in Brazil Reddit is becoming more and more popular. Go back like 5 years ago and Brazilian subs in Portuguese were small and low-traffic except for one or two (ex: /r/brasil).
Now there are a bunch of different themes and I see new topics being discussed quite often.
I believe the reason is Facebook has enshittified so much that its communities are dying quickly and Brazilians are finding Reddit works better for simple discussions. Also no one posts anything personal on FB anymore, it’s all Instagram style reposts so it lost any purpose.
Can’t reddit just die or something?

Also google makes it the first result for a lot of searches now.
Reddit stopped being fun last November.
I am not engaging with it as much as I used to, and now I am actively annoyed with it and trying to make Lemmy my default again.
What happened last November? I quit when they turned off the API
