What could Lemmy.ml do to avoid becoming the next Reddit after a decade? (lemmy.ml)

We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

some people describe it as a “small town feel.”

This is actually pretty accurate based on the short time I've spent here. Honestly, it's pretty nice.

Our opinions have always been valid, they just haven’t been welcome.

Thank you for saying this. I guess I needed to hear that. lol. It would be amazing if lemmy grows a bit more - more activity would be nice. That's my only concern rn, tbh. Hoping we both enjoy our time spent here!
