What could Lemmy.ml do to avoid becoming the next Reddit after a decade? (lemmy.ml)

We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

Can definitely be done. Just need someone to do it. I need to read more of the documentation and figure out how all this works before contributing, I don't want to waste the dev's time coaching a newbie. That's the last thing they need right now.
