Yeah, I never get all these comments saying "if Lemmy wants to get big" it needs to do X (probably some Reddit feature), and " if Lemmy wants to succeed" if needs to do Y (some niche thing most people dont need).
Like, it's already successful doing exactly what it was intended for.
Possibly Lemmy is a lot of peoples first foray into FOSS software, and being the biggest and best, and profits go brrr isn't the aim.
Capitalism is a hell of a drug when it's all you've known.
I think if this is what Lemmy is intended for it’s sad and will always a niche thing. I refuse to believe that this is what Lemmy is aiming for.
Yeah, the front page is working just fine, what's not as good is going to a specific community for a subject you're interested in which currently has 1-3 posts and zero replies.
