A few weeks ago Lemmy was buggy on computers and there were no good mobile clients out there, now on PC the site is pretty stable and fast, and there are now some pretty good iOS/Android clients too. Thanks to all the people who made this possible!

All of your points only considers the community itself, which is not my argument. I’m mostly approach this from technical standpoint.

I understand. But the point I am trying to make is that makes no sense to worry about technical issues now. Not only it is a premature optimization, it is the kind of metric that is actually damaging to us.

What do you prefer? A server that can handle hundreds of thousands of users with 5 nines of uptime, focuses on "Web Scale" and ends up replicating all the issues from Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Reddit, or an instance that is more aligned with the ideas of the SmolWeb and that is more likely to be a net-positive force in your life?
