Lemmy has blown up within the past week. “Taking down reddit” was always a pipe dream, but now we have a real alternative with committed users. I’d call that a success.
I also think lemmy now has more momentum. More users and content will follow, even if not in as massive groups. This new usage will help improve lemmy and next time Reddit fucks up, lemmy could be even better situated to handle the refugees and less will return. I joined lemmy when I left Twitter and was exploring the fediverse. But it wasn’t too active til now
