I usually don’t get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I’m on their side.

    People definitely need Lemmy now more than ever. Reddit is going public. It’s only matter of time before they ban porn outright and stifle more communities and discussion. I’m very much looking forward to more Lemmy instances and communities.

      This fresh influx of Reddit users into Lemmy is definitely a strong opportunity for Lemmy to expand and it needs to capitalize on it. The next big hurdle though is going to be porn. Currently nobody allows porn on Lemmy because it’s too much of an administration headache. If they were smart (and they usually are) an enterprising porn network like PornHub should stand up a Lemmy instance to host porn out of. If Lemmy doesn’t come up with a solution for porn though I’m not sure it will actually be able to truly replace Reddit.
