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 doubt fediverse with all its quirks, bugs, instability, confusion etc. will be able to sustain or even gain mass adoption.

I think the same. I was with the first wave that jumped over during the Reddit blackout earlier in June and questions like

"Which instance is the best one?"

"Why is there a /c/gaming on lemmy.world and a /c/gaming on lemmy.ml? Which is the best one? Shouldn't they be centralized?"

"How do I search every instance in existence? What do you mean some instances don't talk to other instances??"

I get the feeling most users want a centralized and highly managed stream of content and don't care for content on a network of small, individually managed, forums
