    Lemmy has been stable on users since the Reddit Exodus, which is probably good because I don’t see Lemmy in its current form able to handle growth.

    Onboarding new users is a hassle unless those users know someone already on Lemmy to act as a guide. This is just going to push more people to default instances.

    I think that the developers need to shift to a more distributed method of developing an open source project, including stakeholder input on what to develop next.

    People complain about moderation, but I feel like a decent problem had been in distributing ownership of instances across several people and developing policy from that.

    If Lemmy were to grow, it would likely grow as a fork.
