I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation.

Edit: Wow this blew up!
Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can’t believe this made /r/all!
Edit 4: We did it Reddit! Lemmy!
It’s okay if people get bored and migrate back to Reddit. Lemmy is currently not capable of handling the load. Throughout June I’ll probably browse Reddit when Lemmy is down.
Come July, I (and many other I suspect)'ll just be forced to stop browsing Reddit as the third party apps die.
The reality is that Lemmy just isn’t ready to handle the full influx of users.
While lemmy as in lemmy.ml isn’t ready, there are plenty of other instances for users to go. I hope that few folks will find their way here one way or another. Probably not to the reddits level, of course, but I’m still hoping to see something around 20-30k MAU.
To me, Lemmy’s concept looks better than reddit. Glad I found it.

Reddit already made a exception for the app I am using, and it will be allowed to use the api freely. If needed they will make exceptions.

What app are you using?
RedReader I’m guessing.
