All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

I think lemmy and it’s growth is the biggest step forward in the direction of the fediverse becoming “mainstream” alongside twitters implosion As this platform specifically develops more and the front end UI improves in spite of its current flaws, I feel like lemmy and kbin are probably the most likely to be picked up by the general public as it is the easiest to navigate and populate with content. You can federate whole communities in with tons of content, instead of just individual users. There are quirks but I think it has the most potential, it’s like the fediverse was made for this kind of platform in mind specifically.
