The Reddit blackout is in full swing and Twitter is exploding with memes and frustrated reactions from loyal users.
I'm loving this non stop coverage of the blackout. It can't be a good luck for investors interested in reddit
To be perfectly honest, Lemmy has had staggering growth regardless of the lack of media attention. And I'm not entirely certain that's a bad thing.
Look at my home instance of lemmy.world, for example. When I joined pre-blackout, we had around 800 members. Now, two server upgrades later, we're at nearly 18,000. If only a fraction of those newcomers stay, it's still enough to jumpstart organic growth, even if it's slow. And it gives us time to really develop.
Maybe that's a glass-half-full outlook, but I'm optimistic.
Wait. Why are the memes about the blackout better on twitter than here?! Or have I just not found the good communities for those kind of memes?
