I think the different Threadiverse options popping up show the demand for the Threadiverse, and that people are willing to put in that work.
I guess I'm patient. I see progress happening, even if slow. If the Lemmy/Threadiverse experience doesn't change much over the next 10 years then I'm not worried. I have a nice curated experience and find plenty of cool people to chat with (such as the present company), and am not in a rush to turn it into something different.
