Nice find! They're definitely not wrong about the growing pains, we are dealing with some very raw software here still.

I found this bit quite funny, though:

All in all, Lemmy comes across as what a utopian Reddit should be. Free of corporate control, with the ability to run your instances. But unless something changes dramatically, it’ll suffer the same fate as Mastodon or Bluesky.

If Lemmy manages to reach Mastodon's level, then that's pretty much an absolute win, no? I'm not sure where the suffering is in that scenario 😅

I tell you, I looked at mastodon a couple of years ago, and left it almost untouched and very confused. Lemmy looks a bit better, but is still not great. I think if we want to go mainstream, we should really focus more on "join lemmy" instead of "run lemmy yourself", but everyone and every admin has a different opinion, so it's going to take a while.

Mastodon is extremely active. Even if you aren't there, it's pretty big. Nonetheless, you are right that shit needs to look very neat for mass adoption to come. Buuuut, from 1k to 240k in like 10 days is very good still :)
