The Fediverse seems like an interesting idea, but I hope it actually holds together.

    I imagine as Mastodon and Lemmy pick up more users, we'll see a lot of activity and improvements in the underlying tech of the fediverse. Should be a fun ride, especially since it's in the hands of the community.

    Let's see if the technology can improve fast enough to retain users.

    idk, I think it's there already. I'm already having enough content to engage with and post comments.

    Sure, I can't scroll through new content endlessly, but there's enough to replace Reddit.

    I might actually make posts here, too, since it's likely to gain traction. On Reddit, there were only a select few smaller subs I'd generally post to, and even then, only rarely.

    The bar for being Reddit circa 2010 isn’t that high to be fair, I know expectations have changed but Reddit was down intermittently for years to the point I’m amazed it got the traction it did in hindsight. People talk about Lemmy having tankies on it as though early Reddit didn’t have some even worse unsavoury subs and users too.

    A lot of instances block the tankie instance anyways.
