The initial exodus lead to tons of people complaining about lack of features on Lemmy with very few people actually stepping up to contribute to the code-base to bring those features to light.

Dude.....I have zero clue how to use linux. Which I assume is easier than writting code. You think I'm going to write a program in C++ or whatever language?

Saying the users aren't developing the program is like saying the hospital patients aren't willing to be their own doctor.

Users will ALWAYS bring up issues, and if the developers want the platform to grow, they'll implement upgrades to fix those issues.

Otherwise, you just have a userbase that rejects your platform, goes somewhere else, and a small group on the platform wondering why it's not growing.

Which is basically the core of this post.
