This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.

Do you think 'normies' (people with very very little technical knowledge/experience) will be able to come to a decentralized platform like lemmy? Can a platform be successful long term (especially in niche areas) without that super huge low effort part of the user base?

Sync makes it as simple as any mainsfream social media

I haven't tried sync yet, how does new account creation work through their app?

This comment states that they default to lemmy.world. I don't think it should be handled that way.

Which is terrible, it centralizes Lemmy in lemmy.world, they're already facing performance issues because of this.
