When everything is important, nothing is. Lot of product decisions come out like it has to be the center of attention when in reality it slowly turns the product un-cohesive turning into frankenstein of features.
I don't want to sound like a cynic but so was reddit in its early years. We were all rallying for a cause on the great digg migration. It felt great to be part of that movement (or whatever you want to call that). I do hope Lemmy keeps this spirit up for as long as it can.
Not literally though. But I have to say it's giving me nostalgic feeling of old reddit when it would struggle to keep up with inflight of new users/activities.
