Spoiler alert: he currently doesn’t plan to. I keep reading people wondering about what Christian‘s stance is, so there you go.
Here’s a time stamp to the chapter if you wanna listen to more context, or the entire episode: https://castro.fm/episode/nltyqz#1:35:02
Yep I was a little surprised that he has so much skepticism about the growth of the feddiverse. I mean, tapbots has certainly bought in with their mastodon app…
I’m sure it’s all been emotionally exhausting as well so maybe he wants to do something completely different like a game or calculator…or woodworking
Technically Lemmy and Mastodon might be related, but they’re not the same. Mastodon has already been maturing for a while and tweetbot had already been ported for app.net, so I’m sure they had it much easier this time around. Also tweetbot was basically their only source of income and then entire communities started moving over.
Apollo isn’t the only income source for Christian and at least in his eyes Lemmy isn’t yet at a place where it’s certain it will take off.
