Yeah, the curse of success. Everyone seems to be hoping for the swift death of Reddit but I dunno. It getting shittier but still existing might be the best outcome.

Like you said, with so many people online now keeping communities healthy is this precarious balancing act of keeping it just hard enough to find so that it doesn't get flooded yet still discoverable enough for some new members to find it.

I'm always amazed when a search for some oddball question regarding my ISP leads to a recent thread there

This seems like a great place to mention that there is a message board front-end for Lemmy that can make it look like an old phpBB forum:

It's this. I love the idea of running an instance and have considered it many times. But modding the thing is no joke. It's real work that needs to be taken seriously.

Hello! This is the one community that I was a bit worried about finding an equivalent of outside of reddit. Hopefully more of us migrate over.

This is similar to my situation. It's out of laziness at this point because my two installs just keep working.

Same experience here. I created this account a while back and would check in every so often. But it looks like it's happening for real now!

Related, having no trackers show up in TrackerControl for it is also very satisfying.

Why you posting pictures of reddit? /s

Yep, it's this. Despite how it seemed in the 2010s investor capital is not free money. Investors want it paid back many multiple times over and they'll risk destroying the underlying product if necessary.

Oh dear, I had forgotten about this...
