Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.

      That first comment isn’t wrong though. It was definitely an issue of growing pains that Tildes wouldn’t have to deal with, since they have a centralised model, rather than the Federated one Beehaw and Lemmy had to deal with.

      The issue Beehaw had was with people firing up an account on an open instance, and then going over to cause trouble, bypassing their account creation policy. Lemmy grew too quickly for their moderation to deal with, and lacks the relevant tooling, so they just disconnected from the biggest trouble instances, until Lemmy comes out with a better mod toolkit.

      I suspect that if Tildes connected to open instances, they would have the same issue.
