Lemmy reminds me in a big way of the internet in 2000s, things are still being set up and figured out. It’s going to be a while till there’s a reliable and polished experience and that’s actually a good thing. It takes time to build something great and there’s a lot of a learning curve.
Patience is a good thing to practice now and hopefully the new user base can find the great things we’ve seen with Lemmy and have some patience as things stabilize.
Good analogy. For those that remember the late 90s, early 2000s, the internet was a beautiful place, purely because it was an arena of experimentation. Lemmy does have that feel to it and I, for one, hope that sense of community and discovery never dies.
