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 dont think the wave has stopped yet
Agreed, it’s just getting started.

I predict a very small number sticking around though. Layouts and instances are a little too unintuitive.
Still much easier to use than the garbage official Reddit app.
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.
We should roll out a new v4 UI for them
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.
I am going to try and stick with Lemmy as a new user. Hopefully others do as well
