Interesting. I really hope we can grow Lemmy while not losing its identity.

It's frustrating how many non-joiners are completely turned off by the part where you hunt for an instance to join. They act like it's super confusing and scary (when in fact it's 'super easy, barely an inconvenience').

Meanwhile these same people will scour the internet looking for a recipe or bootleg movie or whatever.

It's really frustrating when you remember what a huge PITA it is to get your account going on reddit. Sure, the first part is easy enough, it's just registering on the site. But then you find you can't do jack shit because you don't have enough karma and every sub you visit has 10,000 arbitrary byzantine rules to deal with because the mods got picked on in high school.

Lemmy is actually EASIER than reddit. But here we are.
