    I wish I could just like skip ahead to where the fediverse is huge. Like where every post has lots of discussion and comments and each community has lots of posts and engagement. I know it will take time and the growth won’t happen overnight though

        I just hope a lot of the bigger instances can do something to withstand the massive hit they’re going to take from the user influx. I’ve heard some users have to wait ages to post on them, then you have folks like me on our own instances not able to see swathes of comments because federation is backed up.

        I really like this platform, but those issues will turn a lot of people off.

        If a few months when hard monetization measures take place more people will move.

        Reddit wants to close 3rd party apps because they get in the way of their monetization program.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing “paid only” posts over reddit, like in quora.

        This will be the day. Hopefully we can get the Lemmy apps a bit more done by then. I’ve heard some reddit app devs will start working on Lemmy apps.

      Another thing I like to think of that’s tangentially related, is the “federation” of apartment buildings and houses (in some cases) where they grow their own food, have their own Lemmy instance and produce their own power. The return of a very real sense of community.

    I’ve always been a lurker, but I’m finding it more easier to get involved here. Probably because it’s all new and I don’t think I’m going to get trolled for having a say. Heard a lot of lurkers say the same, we’re finally happy to participate again lol.

    If we create a post with the title “the frontpage of the internet” and upvoted all we can, would it appear on google results when people search for it? Used to work for reddit (or is just a meme and doesn’t work at all, I don’t know).

      That only really worked for very unique phrases. The Frontpage of the Internet already has quite a few results on google because of reddit.

      And Google is already not really indexing Lemmy and Kbin posts, so I doubt anything we post here would appear high on google search results
