Meta (lemm.ee)

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 😅

Nice article! And yeah, Lemmy software is still very unpolished but i would argue that it does not matter if you look at how many people are already trying it out anyway!

Maybe something else will come along, but for now i'm really enjoying finding all these Lemmy instances and different communities. Hopefully big tech largely stays out of the Fediverse, i'm not interested in seeing the ecosystem gobbled up by those giants again.

"suffer the same fate as Mastodon"? You mean... manage to slowly but steadily grow even in the face of an existing giant?

It's neat but also I'm kind of angry at the "review" of Lemmy on there. Like, what exactly do you expect this brand new thing with communities created less than a week ago to do??
