As a mid term objective I see it. There's still a lot to do before we could have a big AMA.
Why? No reason we couldn't keep doing amas. What would prevent it from being productive right now?
Layout is still being tweaked and you want the UI to be as easy to manage as possible for people doing the AMA (new reddit is likely a factor in more recent AMAs not being as good)
It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation regarding amount of people. More people will bring in more AMAs because it is largely a publicity thing. A low userbase means people may not want to do an AMA, or choose to do an AMA on a larger platform. But having AMAs brings people in. It's hard to get the ball rolling.
Maybe we can ask Spez to do an AMA on Lemmy?
Well I agree getting someone good may be difficult, but we can try. I think the UI, while there is certainly room for improvement, is sufficient for trying.
