My impression of lemmy changed a lot once I've read this updated from the lemmy devs from less than a month ago. TL;DR: Lemmy was developed by just two people and with reddit self-destructing everyone jumped to it, and lemmy wasn't really ready for that.

With that info I'm now all the more impressed that lemmy is working as well as it currently is and not crashing every few minutes!

Don't get me wrong, I'm impressed with Lemmy - it's doing an amazing job handling the migration, its structure makes a lot more sense than I thought it did when I was a newcomer, and its functionality is both adequate and actively evolving. My wishlist is mostly minor usability details and it seems like that's something they're actively working on - even the text posts and youtube videos thing I mentioned in my previous message has already been added as a feature on lemmy.world today alone.

Yeah I think In a year or two this will be just as good as Reddit, maybe better. Personally I prefer Lemmy, it reminds me of Reddit before it gained mass appeal. The important thing is now there is a viable alternative to Reddit. Everytime Reddit does something controversial, this site will gain a wave of new users.
