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

Judging by user count alone is deceiving, in my opinion. We need to look at how many “big Twitter personas / companies” are moving to Mastodon, because they are the ones generating content and increasing traction.

As it is right now, I only see some people creating Mastodon accounts and posting 1:1 with what they still post on Twitter. This is not enough.

But at the same time, all migrations take time and we will only be able to determine a “winner” after months if not years of this process taking place.

I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for the best still.

Big twitter personas and companies is the enshittification that is trying to be avoided. The less of that and the more of regular people the better.

Why exactly would anyone want companies to advertise to them? This seems like only a bad thing to me.
