I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

    Right now, you DO need multiple accounts. Instances are down all the time, federation either breaks or is intentionally broken through defederation even between relatively large instances, … it gets tedious.

      That’s just growing pains from a sudden mass migration, the hug of death if you would.

      User base growing organically over time will make this happen less and less.

      Lemmy as a software will get more sophisticated, the people running the software will get more used to how things operate and be able to buy more/better hardware, etc…

      Right now things are just a bit chaotic from thousands of people jumping ship at the same time.

          And people will try it in the future when it is a better experience, too. Both things can happen, I promise you.

            I feel like I haven’t seen enough of that happening in the past though. Can you share some examples of where you’d seen it? Maybe Steam? No Man’s Sky?

            What other apps debuted early to a poor public reception that got people to come back and try it again and successfully change their minds?

              Lemmy now has over an average of a million posts a day up from 300k a month ago. It’s experiencing massive massive growth NOW despite no venture capital being thrown at it. I don’t know why you are asking about sleeper hits when you are literally posting on one. EDIT: I’m an idiot. Misinterpreted the “1 million posts” post from yesterday as a daily total not a cumulative lifetime total.

      I usually hate this response… But I haven’t had any issues, this is bizarre to hear for me.
