Ive been using lemmy since the API shenanigans from Reddit and, apart from the not so smooth onboarding (a problem with all Fediverse applications) the experience is pretty similar to Reddit, only lacking the volume.
Since Reddit is following the enshittification path to try to pump up its valuation (ex: forced push to app use) I imagine that Lemmy will continue its slow organic growth until it hits critical mass. Hopefully all reddit investors would have exited until then...
- crznp 3y agoI hope so too, but how is Lemmy hosted when it is at the volume of Reddit? Supporting lemmy.world on Patreon? Or if niche communities are found on niche instances, how do I participate without either keeping up with inter-instance politics or just creating local accounts? It feels possible to scale Lemmy organizationally, but it also not something to take for granted.
- dakial1 3y agoFair question. If maybe they could somehow distribute the DB load over a network of users...
