For all "Reddit's troubles" last year, they still managed to have revenue growth of 21% to more than $800 million.

That won’t change until the front-end gets more development and features (...) not necessarily due to a lack of content.

I really disagree. Yeah, there are many issues to solve, but content is king and we simply don't have it. The current experience with Lemmy can be summarized as:

  • Two Minutes Hate "news" communities: where everyone tries to out-do each other on their display of rage at $rich_person, $the_other_party and $big_corporation
  • Meta-discussions about the Fediverse, like this one.

It's only appealing for the terminally online. There is nothing for normies to be minimally curious about. The reason that, e.g, my wife, still has Facebook installed and never cared about installing a Lemmy client is not because of "technical challenges" but Facebook has groups that she likes to follow and nothing interesting to her here.
