    Are we early adopters? I feel like I was an early adopter when I joined a month ago. and maybe I’m even not, there are people who where already here a few years now. but now the third party apps have shut down I think most new people are just normal “adopters”. reddit gave a single fucking month which was just not enough time for lemmy to prepare

    This current federation issue is pretty major would have been caught with testing but because of pressure on the devs it just didn’t

    Just in case it sounds like I’m shitting on the devs here, I completely understand how this happened. It’s completely stupid to expect two devs to iron out all the issues in such a complex piece of software with such a close deadline, just an unfortunate situation really

      Are we early adopters?

      I am definitely a new user and early adopter.

      I feel like I was an early adopter when I joined a month ago. and maybe I’m even not, there are people who where already here a few years now.

      Lemmy is still in the early stages of development despite the fact that so much time has passed.

      I think most new people are just normal “adopters”.

      I think these people are still on reddit. The entry threshold is still too high for them.

      Maybe I am wrong

        I just felt a lot of the people here where not treating lemmy as early access software
        it seems a lot more stable after 0.18.1 though
