The idea of having various communities of different sizes and all kinds of topics as we know it from reddit just fits so perfectly to the idea of the fediverse! No more big data companies - truly community owned places for discussion and sharing of information. I really hope lemmy will grow.

Its exciting seeing these few lemmy instances grow a LOT in the past few days. Federated services really give us a chance to break US tech's stranglehold on world communications. Together we're strong!
