Seems pretty much a done deal to me. I have not added any additional subscriptions over the last 3 days.

Day 1 all my ‘new’ for 12h fit on 1 page. Yesterday it was 2 pages. Today more than 3.

Amount of content is just getting more and more. Starting to feel just like how it was on reddit. And I dont mean posts about lemmy either. My subscriptions dont include this sub (community) for example.

Feels like the tipping point is happening and feels good to get onto something new. Reddit was feeling stale anyway. I concede its not perfect but its working for me and meeting my needs right now. Its enough and I am happy

Tnx all of you. -T

Look at mastodon (or try it), after Twitter user exile it grows and shines like an independent big social network. Same will happen to lemmy.

And if original developers will shut down their instances, there will still be a lot of others. And if devs abandon their code, it's opensource, so anybody can continue supporting it. And if not, ActivityPub is a protocol, that's used to exchange data, and new software will be written, like kbin is a working alternative to lemmy.

So, the only thing to worry about is a userbase, we must form it to attract new creative people here.
