Gotcha. So pretty much if I want to personally avoid the growing pains (or possibly ease them for others), I should consider it, but doesn’t particularly help you directly. Thanks for clarifying and thanks for all the work you all put into it!
There are many, here is a nice tool for you to check out what is there: https://lemmyverse.net/
Not sure if this is a good place to ask but it was on my mind these days, with the big user boom and probably most of it being directed at .world - should some of us consider moving to other instance to make room?

Came here to comment this. I wanted to enjoy it but I just didn’t. I can see myself having good fun with it if I watched it 10-15 years ago but when I did it just didn’t hit where it should’ve
It certainly needs an experimental phase, I was just doing research and checking out instances and whatnot first few days. You might find this tool useful for browsing instances and communities: https://lemmyverse.net/
Not too late at all. To change instances however, ypu need to register on that instance and do a new account. There isn’t a way to switch instances on one account.

There are quests where you actually save people, but yeah, there is always skme tragic component involved even then.
Looking forward for the inevitable legendary lemmy posts sometime down the line and me being able to say I was there for it.
I heard about horses dying from the stress caused by fireworks. It can also be hurtful to wildlife.
I’ve read this is coming in next release I think
Thanks for the additional context, you guys rock!
