It seems everyone knows about the problem with the reddit and current form of all social media but still why problem is not solving ??

"the problem"? Everyone has their own list of gripes with Reddit, and some of those are in conflict with each other.
But the short answer is the network effect: People use Reddit because other people use Reddit, and that's a huge hurdle for any alternative to pass.

Don't you think niche communities can pass this one why ? because a niche community works even if it got 10 member but if they interact we go and visit this thing everyday like whatsapp or discord server

It's easier, sure, and plenty of independent communities do exist. They just... aren't "Reddit alternatives" since the defining feature of Reddit is that it hosts a variety of topics in one place

you are godamn right ,its weird that how internet is completely doing a flip back to from where it started,niche communities are the future

Because social media as a concept has peaked and is dying.

But Humans for sure not going to leave the connecting or connections right ? and in tech world it would be through tech mostly something will exist for sure ? the answer is what

idk maybe wait for some time, it seems problem is kind of solved and kind of not (there are people who love current form of social media like influencers and normal people they earn, communicate and educate from it so they love or addicted to current form of social media but then there are people like us who are not happy about current form but as an optimistic version of solution would be just to leave all social media

My thoughts are, it will take someone with money backing a solution. Yes, everyone hates reddit, but all the alternatives have very small user count and usually an interface that is not very good for this kind of content. The second problem getting someone to back it. Reddit is problen, and a person that has the money has to be convinced the product you are offering has a real chance to be a competitor, and also they will want a monetary return.
That said, it is always possible that some genius or someone with just the right idea at just the right time will create an alternative that for some reason catches on fire and becomes a competitor to reddit.

What would be the competitor btw don't you think current form of reddit is too saturated and great competitor needs a monetary value to survive and it could not be done with emotions only(there are thousands of competitors that claim privacy, better algorithm and lot of bs) but its impossible. If you are about to design and be a perfect man at perfect time what it would be (not another xerox copy of reddit btw).
