What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes? - eviltoast

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

    There’s also the issue that during the first big influx, Kbin turned off federation while the dev tried to fix things up. It was off for days, so any fledgling magazines there couldn’t take advantage of Lemmy traffic, we couldn’t sub to them and made our own communities instead, and by the time they turned federation back on a lot of Lemmy communities were already pretty established as “the main one”.
