Its also possible that Reddit rows back from the API change (at least temporarily). I hope they do, so that we have a bit more time to get Lemmy ready.
On one hand, I think this is the best opportunity for lemmy to grow exponentially in terms of reddit immigrants. It would be great to take advantage of this since if many users from reddit have a good experience with lemmy it’s free word of mouth advertising over at reddit. Plus I’m not sure reddit will do something like this again in the foreseeable future after their IPO comes out.
On the other hand, I completely understand that there are technical challenges that need to be addressed, and a user that’s trying lemmy out for the first time would probably get turned off if it seems like lenny is unstable and/or there’s not much content to engage him/her.
Id love for lenny to evolve and grow. I’ve only been here ~48 hours but I’m already less stressed and the community so far has been good to me. I’ll still promote lenny even after this API issue until they ban me. Lol.
