My reasoning: Lemmy is still barely just frustrating enough that the average user would give up, if you release sync for lemmy before many of the important upcoming fixes are released, you’ll end up with a large influx of users that join, get frustrated, then leave. If you wait, even just a month, it’ll be likely these issues will be resolved. Lemmy is just a very young platform experiencing a lot of growing pains.

    Lemmy on the other hand is just a place where conversation happens in general. People will come here for the content and the discourse. I know we’re all impatient wanting it to get back to that Reddit level, but it will happen in time. The stronger the foundation we build, the more tempting it will be for others to join.

    This really is the critical part. We’re starting to see some smaller niche communities get created, and the best thing any user can do is find one or two small niche communities they care about and start posting in them, no matter the quality, just to get the ball rolling. It’s too much to ask most people to create communities themselves, because that requires them to take on moderator duties, but populating them with content to make them more inviting is just as important at this stage, and much easier to do.
