Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.
I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!
@lemmy @LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it
Mastodon requires the people I want to hear from to migrate. If Person X still uses Twitter, I have to use Twitter to hear from them.
Lemmy is different. All we need is enough active users to generate interesting content. We also don’t need it to gain mass adoption. We just need adoption large enough to create interesting content. That means we don’t need to grow 5000x to meet Reddit numbers. We just need to grow X to be great.
Yup. This just needs needs enough people, doesn’t matter much who, to post and repost interesting content like people do on Reddit. There’s no fanbase or content creators here to worry about like on YouTube or Twitter
The ux is already about to be better than reddit in a few weeks (kinda already is with wefwef) too. More people will come as they realize it has the same content with better ux
Right. Once it has similar content and similar UX, it won’t even matter if the others come. If some people want to stay at Reddit, that’s fine. It’s not worth my effort to bring them over. Right now we just need slightly higher adoption, and we just need to wait for the apps to catch up.
Fair point!
