    I wish I could just like skip ahead to where the fediverse is huge. Like where every post has lots of discussion and comments and each community has lots of posts and engagement. I know it will take time and the growth won’t happen overnight though

        If a few months when hard monetization measures take place more people will move.

        Reddit wants to close 3rd party apps because they get in the way of their monetization program.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing “paid only” posts over reddit, like in quora.

        I just hope a lot of the bigger instances can do something to withstand the massive hit they’re going to take from the user influx. I’ve heard some users have to wait ages to post on them, then you have folks like me on our own instances not able to see swathes of comments because federation is backed up.

        I really like this platform, but those issues will turn a lot of people off.

        This will be the day. Hopefully we can get the Lemmy apps a bit more done by then. I’ve heard some reddit app devs will start working on Lemmy apps.

      Another thing I like to think of that’s tangentially related, is the “federation” of apartment buildings and houses (in some cases) where they grow their own food, have their own Lemmy instance and produce their own power. The return of a very real sense of community.

      Yeah I mean it’s pretty much right where it needs to be to get there… but I think the lurkers should start speaking their minds a little and we all will have more content. After a few years hopefully there will be a trove of content for all sorts of subjects in the fediverse (and that we can search for the fediverse content easily)
