It’s definitely a good thing. If someone wants to be on the popular platform go back to Reddit or Twitter. That’s what most people want. The Fediverse is the minority that wants something different.

That can be done with Lemmy too, there are plenty of iOS clients
I’d argue plenty of people are simply not aware such alternatives even exist, and don’t bother researching.

With that said, even then we’d probably be in a minority.
