Yeah this is kind of where I was coming from with my question

Other than the obvious criminal instances (CSAM)

I think potential is underplaying its current state. I feel it’s already on par if not better than Reddit, the apps are better, the experience is better, no ads, the people are generally nicer, discussion is better, no shit comment metas, etc. Haven’t felt a need to go back to Reddit once since leaving.

I’ve had success describing it as “imagine you owned the server your Facebook info was stored on but could still interact with all other Facebook servers”. It’s a little simplified, but it usually gets the point across.

Same. Kinda sad that the Memmy development slowed down so much that now it’s kinda behind the pack. Switched over to voyager and it’s real good 👍

I mean that’s always an option for everything. Is it really going to happen? Probably not

I don’t think you realize how much this person is asking. This isn’t a one person job, this is a job for hundreds of people working full time. They would need to be corporate to be able to afford this.

So you want to make lemmy, but corporate and with algorithms? That’s just Reddit dude (excluding the decentralization).
