A few questions:

  1. Why did you name it Lemmy?
  2. What have some of the biggest challenges been in developing a Reddit-like community platform?
  3. What's a big feature you hope to implement someday?

  1. https://github.com/lemmynet/lemmy#whys-it-called-lemmy
  2. For me at least, the DB has been the most difficult.
  3. Notifications / unified push is something I'd love to have, but given the limited time I have, its in the far future.
