Interest is waning because there is no work being done on federation. Federation is the defining feature of this project, and no tangible progress has been made.
There was massive interest in the project when it first picked up some steam and for a while after. I think that most people are viewing it as a dead project. There are multiple FOSS link aggregator servers out there, and while Lemmy is i believe technically superior to them all, the interest is in federation, not another alternative link aggregator. I personally think that all feature requests need to be put on the backburner until there is at least minimal federated functionality. Of course I am not the maintainer or project manager so that is not up to me, it is just my opinion.
Also bear in mind, this instance is not for production, it is for testing. So that will play a role in people being skittish of signing up here.
Hey wake up Mr monster. I'm contacting you from the future! Good news, the fediverse has been resurrected!!
The admins are tankies and remove tons of content as being Orientalistic or some shit. It's pathetic.
Iβve been intrigued by this, the only source Iβve seen about the Lemmy devs being tankies is one user posting on Mastodon that they reported quite pretty despicable tankie comments on that instance, and the Lemmy devs (who also admin the instance) refused to take them down. Which I would get and I donβt think it makes them agree with the comments, in the βI disapprove of what you say but I will fight to the death your right to say itβ kinda way.
Was there anything else? This is the first I hear of them actually removing content.
I mean, all you have to do is click on Dessalines' profile, his banner image is Chairman Mao. He also posted on reddit years ago bitching that r/Socialism banned him for his beliefs, which of course were posting LaRouche cult nazbol nonsense and genocide denial. It's all right there on Google dude. Plus you can see removals on the mod logs.
