Lemmy is far less mature than reddit but at least its still improving and growing

[โ€“] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

The most important is to keep up the momentum. Users don't mean anything if there's no content. We all need to keep posting stuff and keep actively disucsing stuff!

I would argue that depends entirely in which context you use the word "mature" haha.

That's what I love about it, though. The fact that it is still maturing means that we as a community have a say on how Lemmy will evolve.

To be honest, the fact that such immature software is capable of being a viable alternative to one of the biggest websites on the internet is already super impressive.

Let's see where we will head in a couple of years.

Damn right. I've been using Reddit for years, and after this shitshow I moved to Lemmy and honestly, it doesn't feel that much different. I don't make content, nor do I moderate, so I just scroll and lurk, and comment sometimes, and Lemmy has a steep, extremely short learning curve (you can call it simply a barrier to entry), but after understanding very few basic concepts, this shit feels as natural as Reddit. Besides, I'm testing the Memmy app for iOS and it's improving exponentially. I seriously feel like Lemmy can become a good alternative, for real, not for the memes.
