Same fucking journey as you. Reddit was a good run for 10 years, let's see if Lemmy can work.
What do we do if it doesn't? Just crawl back and apologize?
Consider exploring other Fediverse platforms before heading back to Reddit.
I mean, since there's no central site to shut down, Lemmy failing would pretty much just mean that it stagnates and some of the bigger instances shut down, at which point there still would be some remnant of it left to stay on, if a smaller one. Failing that, it isn't the only reddit alternative that people have been working on, so maybe one of the others will be more successful.
Exactly; if an instance goes down, then users can migrate to a new instance.
Nah. If Lemmy/Fediverse doesn't work out, there will be others. This has all happened before..
If the fediverse idea doesn't work out and it's yet another company the cycle is bound to continue.
A big chance is in front of us to break the cycle!
