Makes me happy. It’s easy to have a good time here.

    I expect a surge of new users the next time Reddit squeezes their users. I expect Reddit to pull a YouTube.

    This time, lemmy will be way more capable to handle a surge.

      I’m still hoping we can get some stuff done before that happens. It’ll be a mess regardless, but it might help with some of the friction

      • v0.19 has some much needed features
      • some better guides and established communities to get help / learn about lemmy
      • better moderation tools are much needed

      At the same time, we already have a lot of good stuff now. All the frontends, mobile apps, and browser extensions just did not exist a few months ago. That alone is very impressive

        It’s a matter of slow growth. If it all happened fast with a huge user base, things would break and stop functioning in more places and more often … which would drive people away.

        It’s better to just grow everything slowly and steadily. It’s better to be reliable, than the biggest and fastest.

        I’m here for the long haul. And we’ll probably look back fondly at this time when everything was small and just starting. I’m happy I’m here and I look forward to what is to come.
