Comment on Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame?

When I joined Facebook in ~2006 there was already a decent amount of people using it. There was enough interesting content for me to stick around.

When I joined Reddit ~2009 it was also starting to really become popular. The Digg exodus helped tremendously.

The difference between them and Lemmy is that they already felt polished compared to Lemmy. Lemmy feels almost as though it’s in Beta. Lemmy goes down practically everyday for me. There’s not a lot of original content and it’s a very different experience than any other social media sites. Honestly, it’s complicated compared to the straight forward nature of other social media sites.

Instances, communities, Fediverse etc. I’m going to say that a lot of people will not like the hassle.

Can there truly be an implosion of Lemmy? I thought the nature of the Fediverse was that it can’t be controlled by a single entity? If an instance goes down, can’t there be something to replace it? As long as there are servers and people willing, it will remain. Right?
