Don't have to be the biggest -just the most fun.
Bigness and funness are related in the case of social media, though. Reddit's size means that it can support a lot of niche subreddits that cater to very small slivers of their userbase. Some of those niche groups have been replicated in the Fediverse but they're mostly dead still - there aren't enough people here to actually generate the content and conversation needed.
