Is lemmy supposed to be a reddit replacement? What is the user count vs reddit? Is it worth it sticking around? I usually just casually scroll and read interesting random things, to which I may or may not get involved in, however, here my home page is empty and I probably have to subscribe to pages in order to see anything there.

yup, link aggregator / forum site that is not controllable by a corpo or single individuals
hard to measure, but here you can see a bit more info regarding activity on the lemmy part of the fediverse. 3)for sure. pros of lemmy: you don't get drowned out if you comment by a horde of meme comments, discourse is mostly civil and a lot more real discussion takes place in comparison to reddit. Lemmy also has a lot of apps that reddit lost.
