Heck, by the time we'd know for sure that Lemmy isn't working out, there'd be no content left on Reddit to go back to.

It's already much busier here than it was a couple days ago, though; I think we'll be alright.

Yeah. Lemmy doesn't need to be Reddit sized by tomorrow. For now we can just enjoy an older style of smaller forum community. All we can do is keep popping in to Reddit and letting people know about Lemmy. Keep helping people understand the decentralized structure. Keep fostering a welcoming and engaging community. Eventually we'll grow and I truly suspect we can outpace Reddit. It might be years or even a decade before that happens, but I believe it will happen as long as we keep this community active and growing.

I'm quite happy to enjoy a smaller community with higher quality comments again.
