https://lemmy.world/post/1061471> Lemmy, the go-to decentralized Reddit alternative, has been around since 2019 but has some big gaps in its feature offering and its privacy policies.
Many online companies have been training this generation of users into accepting beta products under the guise of “early/ beta access” and delivering half baked semi working platforms for 2 decades. Especially the games industry.
I think users are more able to accept shortcomings than the writer thinks.
The platform is absolutely not ready for an influx of angry Redditors.
If anything, the number of instances exploded, and large instance admins like Ruud are working with lemmy devs on tracking and resolving issues.
I also noticed a lot of users active on the githubs. More pull requests. Custom scripts for browsers, new themes. So this wave seem to bring: Knowledgable server admins, Uservolume to stresstest and new enthusiastic contributors.
