#3There is huge need for such an application.
Hope that it becomes moderately successful. If it becomes too successful, it will become victim of it's success like Reddit.

It will absolutely need popular support to attain some sort of critical mass, and not just among the cast-offs from other platforms, such as Gab, Parler etc.

You're not kidding. This webapp is so fast (after the initial load) that I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if the Reddit mobile website intentionally adds sleeps/delays as some have jokingly suspected in the past. On this site, I can actually scroll through posts or collapse comment threads without wondering if my touch input and/or browser are frozen.

New Reddit doesn't need sleep/delays, it's already slow as molasses heh.
If not for old.reddit.com, my time on Reddit would've gone way down :/

#10Congratulations! Just discovering Lemmy! Federated software is excellent - I’ll have to write a home-hosting tutorial for this!
