“Why is this not loading?” as inevitably nothing will load when the servers get 1000x the traffic they were expecting.

But assuming the servers would somehow handle it, it would be a huge boon to Lemmy. There are a lot of people here saying they would leave, but I think that’s stupid. The reason why I left Reddit was that the platform gave me the middle finger, it had nothing to do with the users. The same goes for TikTok, but this time the middle finger comes with a thousand prying eyes. On Lemmy, I could finally find communities in the niche hobbies that I like.
