How can we make it more popular?
I was put off of one instance by community feud with a self-appointed HOA-type representative, and on another by downvotes on any opinion comment that I made on otherwise empty posts. Switching platform sadly can't fix the problem of awful people. ๐
But then you also have a large instance like beehaw trying to break away from lemmy
Who cares? I'm here, you're all here, and for now the content I see is pretty good quality compared to alternatives. I'm of the mindset that too many users can be just as bad for a site like lemmy as too few.
make a decentralized system that scales quickly and efficiently with usage and has a higher uptime than any server based site like reddit
It is like the holy grail of a decentral web, and it is (currently) very hard to achieve without making a tradeoff.
Lemmy trades off scalability and availability for federation. It's not very effective because instances have to be selected manually, and if any large instance goes down, chaos ensues.
It's not even truly decentral. More like a somewhat redundant media system.
The best I think we have right now is IPFS. It has scalability and accessibility. But it lacks speed due to DHT searches being hella slow compared to a simple DNS lookup.
I like it here. Not here here, but in my instance :3
