    I’d prefer a slow but steady rise instead of explosive one. Instance like Lemmy.world just couldn’t take the heavy load any further without Lemmy fixing the issue(iirc there’s a bug causing high load with no apparent reason).

    As for the growth, idk, i feels like lemmy cannot realistically pull majority of Reddit user unless Lemmy also turn to reddit, like have the feature that appeal to general masses. So i think it’s much better to remain low while grow steadily. Not like we have the choice tbh.

      I think thats right. The reason I got fed up with reddit is because I realized I was arguing with teenagers. I couldn’t be sure, but my gut told me a lot of the time the reason the person was being entirely unreasonable was because they were trying to “win” an argument, rather than talk about something.

      My concern w/ Lemmy is the same- if it becomes too common and popular, it will just have everyone on the internet on it, and very young people are very on the internet

          I fear to admit I am, myself a refugee :(

          I became interested in mastodon as soon as musk bought twitter. I knew I needed to get off reddit and when the protests started, I made my sub private and haven’t been back since
