Now it's a matter of sustaining and slow growth. Hopefully. Best thing you can do to see Lemmy succeed is participate: comment, post, doomscroll All+Top Hou ;)
It'll take a while for some of the smaller communities to get critical mass. And that's okay, probably. Critical mass is here for the larger topics already. I'll do my best to help :)
There's definitely going to be more reddit exoduses. Over the last 10 years, there were several moments where this could've happened but there weren't any viable options (except Voat, but that went to the Nazis ๐). Now that there's Lemmy, Squabbles, Tildes, etc..., I think people's appetite for putting up with reddit's bullshit is a lot less. I think the next big one will be when reddit introduces the new "awards" system in a couple of months.
There'll likely be another spike when sync/boost finally drop their lemmy versions.
^ let's keep building so we get more traction when the next bump hits ๐
