One small step for Lemmy, one big step for us :) While I don't aim to be a big instance, it's exciting that people are using it ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks everyone for this!

On this occasion, I would like to ask a little question. What do you think, if we make the instance humor/meme focused instead of general-purpose? I think the hostname is very appropriate. I've also read that Lemmy developers prefer more focused instances over general-purpose. So IDK what do you think??

Cheers, I came just now too!

meme focused instead of general-purpose?

About being memey I think that could work as a brand, but to host mostly humor communities might be difficult in the sense that most generic and some niche meme communities have already been created elsewhere, of course that doesn't stop us from replicating some of that here, but I don't know, I don't have the crystal ball
the orb is being pondered

Yes, I gave up too. Based on the feedbacks, it makes sense to be general-purpose and also have meme communities.
