In a normal, nonfederated site, sure. But when you throw instances on top of it, it gets a bit more complex.

On another note, I don’t believe we’re gonna get a lot of people coming here who aren’t redditors.

Family Guy.

Yeah, “community” is kinda bland.

And I feel it has the potential to make newbies confused with instance.

I feel like most of the problem would be physical hardware. Costly servers that would need to be able to meet Lemmy’s growing demands.

I’m not sure how much optimization from the software side can be done to reduce resource requirements. There’s certainly things that can be done to improve user experience though.

One aspect I’d love (and is apparently in the works) is swapping instances while keeping your history. A migration tool of sorts. Would help.

Still the roughness is sorta endearing in its own way. But I don’t think it’d be endearing to most people.

Not very.

It mostly just displays the frontpage and the threads there. Can log in but can’t really interact beyond voting.

It currently crashes upon going into a… “Sublemmy?” I don’t know what we’re calling it here.

Work in progress. Still looks like home.

I think Lemmy’s biggest challenges are server stability, increased complexity to use (most don’t understand things like instances), and low awareness from others. I only learned about it a day or two ago. Signed up out of curiosity.

But if Lemmy gets even more popular then the various popular instances are going to be stressed. It looks unstable to newcomers who go back to Reddit.

I signed up for lemmy.world originally, constantly had Gateway errors. Lemm.ee seems more stable due to lower traffic.

But others may not be able to recognize that. Even if they did, might not want to create new accounts for several instances and go back to starting from 0.

Thankfully, they’ll remind you wh- oh wait.

I doubt he cares about that.

Always some going off in early July and late June.

Wants to know your blood type.

How clean your bedroom is.

For now, anyway.

Weird, thought I was on this account when I made the comment.
