    It’s ironic that the Reddit to Lemmy migration occurred precisely because of the moderation issues of the former. Yet the dev seems to deprioritize this aspect for some reason. This is sad. I do hope Kbin will get a larger traction.

      I really can’t be too hard on the devs, this is a completely volunteer operation, and the massive influx led to all kinds of very foundational issues related to scaling. As I said in another comment a day or two ago, I think many are focused on just keeping the wheels from falling off the car that is their own instances right now.

      Realistically, I think the only way they can right the course is for several instances to go on hiatus that are run by people who can contribute 10 to 20 hours a week developing the platform. I am also making a number of assumptions, such as there is a big overlap between developers and people running instances.
