I imagine we all have different use cases, my idea of Lemmy succeeding may not be your idea.
That being said, as a replacement for Reddit, where I can scroll through the top say 50 posts once or twice a day, it absolutely fits the bill.
Engagement is much better for me here, I imagine due to the smaller size of the community, that lends itself to their being much less useless garbage comments and much more constructive or informative discussion.
The above being said, I do wish there were more people here.
I’m in favour of Option 3, privacy concerns considered.
User experience is big for me here, the broken images are something of a frustration that I’ve been dealing with for a while now, so the option to combat that is a clear winner for me.
Also, I want to thank you for coming to us for feedback, yet another reason I’m glad I decided to settle here on Lemm.ee.
