I think honestly Lemmy just needs more mobile clients. Jerboa is ok, but third party clients are needed here like they are/were with reddit

Guys, what are you on about.
It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.
Don't you see it?
/s
That person is saying it like it's a bad thing that signing up isn't brain-dead.
That user does have a point. The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.
Though there is something to be said for the selection of people that get filtered out. While I appreciate large communities because of the variety of view points available, the quality increasing due to a barrier of entry has advantages too.
As a side note, thanks for writing up guides for people!

I’m super excited for the potential this has. Happy to be here and hoping to help build a great online community with you all!
Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.
Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.

I just hope that it will be more distributed than Matrix and not everyone registers on lemmy.ml (matrix.org in case of matrix) so the decentralization works for real here instead of 90% (exaggerating, don't know the numbers) of the user base sitting on one instance :)

As a newbie, I hope the software can catch up to the needs quickly.
God, site is so SLOW. They need to bring new servers, maybe charge extra for each api call? IDK

I'm happy for users to join the federated alternative!
Honestly this platform is welcoming & people are dignified through conversations. Also informative.
it's cool
I think we really need to address the scaling issue, one option could be to use clichhouse instead of postgres

You know, it just occured to me yesterday that there might be a federated version of reddit. Looked it up and I was pleasantly surprised to see it's actually picking up a lot of users. Now if we could see a mobile app as polished as rif is fun, I'll be extremely happy. Move over reddit, let's go lemmy!
Just wondering though, how scalable is lemmy? What kind of hardware/connection would you need to host your own instance?

A nice website for looking for servers, platforms, and user numbers over time is: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Also handy for getting a picture of how many lemmy servers there are and how big they are.

Joined Lemmy because of permanent suspension from the Snoosite for harassment, which I clearly didn't commit at that time.
