I have no idea, but in defense of the devs, there’s a reason they are calling it version 0.19 and not 0.5 or “1.0” There’s a lot to do, but look at projects like Mastodon a year ago vs today and they’ve made some dramatic improvements in terms of polish and usability.
Personally I think it’s a good thing Lemmy isn’t more popular right now, because there’s no way it could absorb Reddit levels of users in a healthy way.
