    I am fine with the place settling for a bit. It would suck if this place was as big as other sites are overnight. I want to watch this place grow over time

    LOL this reminds me of the numerous news articles that kept saying how Mastodon wouldn’t scale and how it would never take off. The most ridiculous one: “Mastodon is crumbling”. (We’re over 13 million users right now.)

      “We had a 2% reduction in profits this year guys, 😭”

      “The company lost money?”

      “What? Oh no! But we made 3 bn in profits last year and we only made 2.8bn this year… So to make up for the shortfall, we’ll be reducing 401k contributions.”

      “…didn’t the CEO get a 200million bonus-”

      “WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SACRIFICES!”

      Every capitalist: You did great, and we know all the prior meetings talked about record profits, but we just can’t afford to give you a bonus. Soooorryyyyyyyyy.

    That is probably my fault, I’m cursed and the moment I ever join any organization or community, something invariably always happens.

    I honestly was worried about our growth maybe 3 weeks ago… It seemed there was a boom and then sort of an exhale after that initial rush in early June. However I’m subbed to about 130 communities. My feed is nice and busy where I couldn’t even chance to see all the content. I can look through my sub list (LemmyTools addon plug) and catch up on some comms I missed in my feed. It’s going great now as we are seeing steadily more upvoted posts (in the ks) now. Memes are off the charts. Tech and News seems to be hot. Im not super stitious well, maybe a little situous but I think things are going well and seeing a good base here form.

    There will need to be some sort of stale/abandoned community cleanup or filter eventually though.

    As an outsider, please take these helpful suggestions:

    The logging-in process is messed up. For the longest time I couldn’t log into any of the mobile apps (even though on the desktop it worked fine). The error messages were mostly not helpful.

    Even now, I still get error messages that ask me to pick a language for some reason. This is after I’ve already typed up a comment and I am trying to post it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t, but you could see how it would be a PITA when on mobile and all you wanted to do was write a short response.

    Still no real idea what “instances” are and no idea if I am missing out on entire subs because I am on .world. No clue. Do people on .world only see this? 🤷

    The layout on the website is barely passable. The link to go see a comment that was posted for you is just in an awkward location. I’m almost never sure what sub a post is coming from because the name of the person, the language it is in, and some other stuff is all fairly indistinguishable. Like seriously, there has to be someone on the Lemmy team that has some kind of graphic design background who could pipe in and spice up the UI a little.

    There are random hangouts for seemingly no reason. Is it because of how much the Lemmy population has exploded over the last few weeks or problems with a link or what? Some feedback would be super helpful.

    Why so many subs (are they called subs here?) with zero content. Not even like old content… literally go there and nothing is posted. At all. That is not conducive to growing a sub. If there are squatters who came here and loaded up on a bunch of sub names just to say they have them, and are not doing anything with those subs, then take the name back. No one is going to post a comment to a sub with zero threads. This is only hurting the community.
