What's most regrettable is the timing. Just when Lemmy had a big growth spurt, they cut off a big part of the community. We'll likely see this happen again in 2 weeks, when Reddit shuts down all 3rd party mobile apps, and again when they close old.reddit. I hope that some of the issues Lemmy currently faces will be fixed by then.

I'd argue it's perfect timing. Better that users across the broader fediverse know now that supporting Beehaw communities and helping them to grow with content won't be in the best interests of the fediverse more broadly, and to put their time and effort into communities hosted elsewhere before they'd grown even larger.
