  • To be fair, building a platform like Lemmy is a shit tonne of work. It’s not built yet, and it’s not their fault tens of thousands of redditors decided to start using an unfinished product.

    However, this is exactly why I’m concerned. If they were making a little calculator app or something then no concerns. But they are trying to build another federated service like Lemmy. If it takes off like Lemmy, how can they possibly give attention to both?


  • I’m not concerned because a person is choosing how they spend their spare time. I’m concerned because a person only has so much free time, and Lemmy development is already struggling.

    Also the premise of it being free changes when people are paying specifically these two devs thousands of dollars to work on Lemmy, but that’s not what I’m concerned about.

    The other lemmy dev has side projects that don’t concern me (such as an android keyboard). I’m specifically concerned about this Wikipedia project because they already know they can’t keep up with the demands of Lemmy and now they want to build a second federated platform.

    Again, not concerned about them choosing to spend their time on this, but I am concerned about Lemmy the software and it’s road map out of beta.
