It would be interesting. I'd guess Porro just ends up being quite a bit too direct for it to work out, but I'd be curious to see what would happen. Deki is clever enough to give it a run. Not actually expecting to see it but wouldn't mind a half or two just for the sake of seeing how it plays out.

DiCaprio wouldn't ever date me...wait, is "older" code for "ugly"? Oh you little...

Love to see how it compares to the league more broadly. I don't know if it's better or worse but the same, genuinely, but I have a feeling things are going up in most places.

And to add, if you want more directly to see the data on activity of the instances and communities, switch the view to "List" from the default "Grid"

It absolutely did! When you'd get into the "rooms" with the gray walls and the electric-y fencehy thing Infront of you, you'd have to dodge left and right while holding the gun in front of you in first person view. That game was so fucking hard...

Yeah definitely a huge instance after the 18 upgrade!

I'm not sure if it's for the same reasons, but Andro.id is another example of an instance around a common intent/subject, with communities based on topics within that subject area.

Interesting concept but agree that if that was the intended means of propagating the fediverse, it doesn't seem like it's happening as planned (but still in a very viable way).

On Jerboa. Probably need to give connect a shot at some point just to experience it. But I'll almost certainly switch to Boost once it drops. Absolutely hooked on that for reddit for many years and it's such an awesome client I'm sure it's dev, Ruben Mayayo, will do no less for Lemmy.

Yeah this is critical. These promises for money later mean that all sorts of stupid ideas were being funded, and therefore people hired, etc, but now that's coming to a close. Companies and investors will be more likely to scrutinize spending (as they should) and see how to rightsize with reality and line of sight to profit. For significantly more complex reasons, it's similar to an individual borrowing themselves into crazy debt, and banks eventually determining that they need more than credit/promises to keep seeding you cash.

Time to pay back some promises.

Yeah I'm with you. Core reddit has been a disaster for a long time. I happily left a long time ago and eventually came back as 3rd party apps allowed me to have s completely different experience on mobile and I could finally stop using desktop (though res always lively fondly in my heart).

I'm moving away from Reddit for a least a while too see how things begin to unfold. Will try Lemmy, too, and see if it grows enough to be worthwhile and have the momentary to build some sort of critical mass offer time. Seeing some major said move here (Boost, for me) will be awesome.

But I don't expect reddit to disappear. As was said, for a ton of people, the 3rd party so exodus is not impactful, if they're even aware of it.

I'd guess Reddit continues for a long time, but becomes even more diluted than it has since the tencent investments and the huge leave-facebook migration from a few years ago.
