    Really interested to hear about the plans and costs to scale up and grow in a stable, reliable, and safe way. Hopefully Patreon membership grows too and allows continued performance improvements.

    I think for more casual users, continued degraded performance - or worse, an instance being stopped for whatever reason and the content and accounts being lost - would probably stop the platform being a true replacement. Casual users would head back to Reddit.

    I think having a public roadmap and backlog, good communication and transparency will be super important, particularly in these early stages.

    Great job so far, this kind of sudden growth is not easy to manage!

      I’m hopeful it could be a fresh start like before reddit was really popular and there were a lot more discussions being surfaced to all page over reposts.

      It was how I would find new subs and rabbit holes.

      I wonder to what extent causal users contribute to the health of the platform. May depend on how “casual” they are, but it may be possible that their absence won’t be that detrimental.
