Looks like Apollo is now dead boys and girls. Feels like having a loved one die

    I find that a lot of Lemmy people are positing a vision that won’t exist, which is that there’s going to be a great migration to Lemmy. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

    But the key is that you don’t need the hundreds of millions that Reddit has. You can argue that you don’t even want it.

    What I want is a return to the 2000-era bulletin board-type numbers where each community would have on the order of a few hundred or thousand active participants.

      The thing is, I suspect the Fediverse could do both.

      There might one day be giant single instances, that are in themselves, a reddit, but also tiny ones with tiny communities just doing their own thing.

      I don’t think Lemmy or the fediverse will go down anytime soon, but I’m not imagining some sudden spike of explosive growth beyond what we’ve already seen. I don’t think anyone does.

      We’re just optimistic about the future of this incarnation of social media!
