Reddit done goofed. Reverting on 15 years of developer and community goodwill, the company is now charging unsustainable prices for API access with an unreal...
Everyone has their own definitions of “good enough”. I mean, I’m here trying it out so it was good enough for me :P So it really depends if you’re thinking Lemmy could attract early adopters, or mass users. Right now it’s only suitable for tech people who are interested in learning a little more about it and like the idea of the fediverse.
It’s unfortunate that the Reddit controversy came at the time it did. I think if it was one year later and Lemmy had a bit more polish and better mobile apps you’d be able to get a lot more people on board.

Yeah, maybe. I don’t know if Lemmy would ever get the polish if it didn’t have an influx of users. I think we’ll probably see one or two high quality apps and a decent amount of additional help identifying and fixing bugs in the lemmy and lemmy-ui developer pull requests as a result of the controversy.
The nice thing is that reddit will probably not get better as they move to the IPO and beyond. They’ll start being shittier and shittier from here on out. We just have to use this energy to make Lemmy the best it can be and it’ll be seen as a viable option for which to drop reddit for everyone.

That’s a good point, interest will drive a bigger investment. Looking forward to see how this plays out.
