nah I enjoy it a lot, and so do many others lol

(their real events, Hotfix not as much)

or will it stagnate and fade into obscurity like many other similar discussion boards?

well it wouldn’t really play out like that, if Lemmy gets overtaken by a replacement (like Mbin, Piefed, or Sublinks), it would be a transition not a death

a big thing we can look forwards to right now is if Pixelfed gets better support to interact with Lemmy/etc communities/groups then we can get a big boost in userbase, even if they aren’t using the Lemmy software we’ll still be seeing their posts and comments

I wish Mastodon would improve their compatibility with Lemmy too, but they don’t seem interested

So many specific interests still have very active forums dedicated to them, populated by the kind of people who want to ask queations aboht and discuss the things they have interest or expertise in

I hope these types of sites eventually switch off of software like phpBB and move to software like Lemmy/Mbin

Maybe someone should make a database migration tool so posts/comments/users can be retained
