I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

People don't care about it being growing pains or what will happen, they're trying it now.

    And people will try it in the future when it is a better experience, too. Both things can happen, I promise you.

    I feel like I haven't seen enough of that happening in the past though. Can you share some examples of where you'd seen it? Maybe Steam? No Man's Sky?

    What other apps debuted early to a poor public reception that got people to come back and try it again and successfully change their minds?

    Lemmy now has over an average of a million posts a day up from 300k a month ago. It’s experiencing massive massive growth NOW despite no venture capital being thrown at it. I don’t know why you are asking about sleeper hits when you are literally posting on one. EDIT: I’m an idiot. Misinterpreted the “1 million posts” post from yesterday as a daily total not a cumulative lifetime total.
