What you describe is a big problem for generic communities such as YouShouldKnow, NoStupidQuestions etc and even hobbies where most of the people practicing them aren’t good with tech.
For more niche stuff Lemmy works better because if you want to talk about, say, communism you can go to lemmygrad.ml and instantly get a front page with communities about communism. If Lemmy continues to grow I expect we’ll see more themed instances pop up (e.g. about gaming, technology, fitness) and Lemmy’s advantages over Reddit will be seen more clearly.
