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

Unpopular opinion: I hope lemmy remains niche. Mainstream social media brings mainstream bullshit with it (trolls, nazis, low effort posters, bots, attempts at monetization leading to enshittification). People who are wanting a reddit clone, you're in luck, reddit still exists

@animist Twitter is mainstream. Instagram is mainstream.

Reddit was nowhere as mainstream as you might think. Outside of US.

It had a nice balance between being niche but having enough content.

Atleast that's what I feel

Reddit was mainstream ever since the Digg migration
