Sounds like things are heading in the right direction. Thanks to everyone involved!

I think you’re missing a major con of the current dedicated instance, which is ownership, or lack thereof. During the Lather Games the bot stopped posting the daily threads and that wasn’t rectified for over a month. I understand this is volunteer work and I don’t fault anyone for preferring to spend time over on Reddit during the Lather Games, but if this instance is always going to play second fiddle then it will never reach its full potential. Around the time when LG started, the Lemmy version wasn’t updated very quickly when a new version came out that broke compatibility with some third party apps which resulted in me giving up and going to another instance.
Until someone is willing to dedicate the time to fully support this instance, I don’t really think there is a point to discussing the various pros and cons that you mentioned because to me there is a baseline level of functionality that’s not consistently being met. I kind of feel the ship has sailed and people are happy to continue using Reddit and I’ve moved on to Discord for my wetshaving needs, but I still come back here from time to time to see if anything has changed.
Thanks for your efforts!
