Non-diversified Lemmy poses similar risks Reddit did even if to a lesser extent. I know we won’t stop it but people like Blaze do a great job by linking only non-LW instances when promoting Lemmy and we should all make a conscious effort to spread out as much as possible. LW will probably end up as a Reddit clone in terms of vibes based on the type of people that gravitate towards it and that’s not everyone’s cup of tea either.
I agree although I’m not sure Piefed and Mbin are mature enough for us to recommend to newbies. Piefed might get apps soon so that’s a huge a boon but Mbin seems stuck in a rut a bit.
I believe the situation on iOS is a bit worse and that’s still half of the users overall probably so probably best to check that first. Then again if I was someone older (kind of am) and heard there’s no iOS app for something I was joining I’d be worried how serious it is.

Similarly if everyone is relying on just Lemmy and not piefed and mbin in the even Lemmy goes down getting a new one running takes more time.

Using interstellar ATM and Lemmy and mbin seem great and piefed works when you use their instance*.
*still a few issues like lack of notifications and also being stuck to one instanc3 at least for now.
