Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.

I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!

@lemmy @LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it

I think having 100M+ users as a goal is unsustainable and unrealistic. I'm quite happy with where we're at, and optimistic about where we're going. If growth in the fediverse continues, we'll be ok.

My feed on Mastodon already moves quicker than I could ever keep up with.

I just hope we won’t end up having what used to be Reddit (or Twitter) fragmented across 10 different platforms. That would definitely suck :/

I still argue that the pre-reddit/digg days where different communities had there own forums and sites was healthier and more diverse.

Homogeneous != Better

The fediverse is a nice middle ground. You can still have diverse communities but, for the most part, interact with them through one pane of glass.

With apps it's not too bad. Liftoff already makes it fairly seemless (not perfect, but it's still in early development)
