i dont think the lemmy servers would be able to hold for that long
if you mean all the niche communities, then sub Reddit could provide a link to a lemmy alternative but no sub Reddit allows promotion so it's pointless.
since being banned from Reddit, i have felt there is something missing since i can't interact in my niche communities any more sadly
Our goal is to make Lemmy the best place it can be. Whether that recreates another platform or not
please, no.
only time and reddit can do that.
Banned my 8 year old account for spam. God damn the account was not even active for 4 months why did you ban it reddit? And no replies from mods either. I liked reddit but lemmy is nice too and niche!
my ten year old account was flagged for ban evasion, banned from the site as a whole because they refuse to let humans do the work.
yeah exactly same, I filed the complaint to the reddit mods or site mods but no response!
Why?!?! Donβt you like it here? You realize the quality degrades as more ppl arrive?
Dont be a traitor, keep your mouth shut.
You canβt
- For one , think lemmy's default U[XI] could use some improvement
- Needs more diverse userbase that's not just (tech|news)
- Maybe ATproto support ? Wafrn (activitypub tumblr clone) seems to integrate it , bluesky has more diverse userbase (2nd point above's common complaint about activitypub side of the 'verse and wy peops tend to go to bsky instead)
I don't know how ethical it would be, and maybe it already exists, but a tool to replicate a Reddit post directly on a Lemmy instance could be useful

I think this is a bad idea because it could turn into a second reddit.
money
I fear that Lemmy will not scale properly, popularity will exponentially increase the load. Itβs basically actions multiplied by instances
The nature of the fediverse means bad actors could run rampant, jumping instances and usernames to turn the place into a shitshow.
The only reason it isnt happening already is that we arent worth the trouble.
The only way to avoid it once a certain size is reached is a paid moderation team with a mission statement to stamp that shit out, which means a budget is needed which means backers/investors/advertising... and tou get where this is going.
