My reasoning: Lemmy is still barely just frustrating enough that the average user would give up, if you release sync for lemmy before many of the important upcoming fixes are released, you’ll end up with a large influx of users that join, get frustrated, then leave. If you wait, even just a month, it’ll be likely these issues will be resolved. Lemmy is just a very young platform experiencing a lot of growing pains.

    The current wave of new users is over. Its just us here now.

    There will not be another big jump in users until Reddit pisses people off again. That won’t be until the summer is over, at least. It will happen, just not right away.

    Now is the time to let lemmy have its growing pains. Release anything and everything. We can handle it.

      I think Reddit will just slowly bleed out from now on. Nothing big or not big movement will ever happen … the beast is hurt and it has festering wounds that won’t heal. It will just grow older weaker and less stronger from now on. In two, three, four years time they’ll be pushed aside by the next big thing … whatever it will be, threads, Twitter, Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, fediverse, or something completely new … and we also don’t know if it will be corporately controlled or openly shared.

      All I know is that as humans … we tend to do things in the least best way to benefit our collective whole.
