It seems to be in error because I’ve seen posts show up and I just made this post obviously.

    Let me say, thank you for being here.

    I honestly don’t believe Lemmy is for everyone - at least not yet. There’s too many issues for me to, say, recommend it to my mom. However for Lemmy to become capable of being that network it needs people like you. People that don’t just get frustrated and walk away, but post an honest inquiry about ‘why’. If nothing else the feedback is appreciated.

    The Reddit/Twitter/General Shitification has shaken things up such that pioneers like us are seeding the fediverse with the wide variety of human interests that are richer and deeper than what the developers themselves can provide. Thank you for deciding that, “well, if the experience is going to be frustrating and annoying, at least I’ll go with the frustrating, annoying experience that’s trying to improve itself”. My advice is to take Lemmy itself not too seriously - to laugh when the software has it’s quirks, and to give others the benefit of the doubt. I look forward to looking back and ‘enjoying how wild it was in the early days’.

    Again, thank you. I’m starting to dream that in five years this place might be someplace really, truly amazing.
