For those that weren't there for the mastadon growth, it came is several waves. the reddit blackout begins tomorrow 6/12. Are the Lemmy sysadmins expecting a second wave of growth? If so how big?
I hope that the ones sticking up are attracted to the idea, grossed out by the unintuitiveness, competent and willing to contribute. Then hopefully it'll get better.
Reddit was unintuitive to start as well, and had a pretty rough UI in its starting years but those are just growing pains and hopefully we will see the same with Lemmy as well.
