It is because it is basically self-sustaining, its already won me over with the quality and rigor of discussions (which exist), and guess what they don't have problems with: moderation and CSAM issues, which Lemmy currently does (alledgedly).

We can argue over the semantics of "successfull" since its a vague overlapping conflation of quantitative and qualitative metrics, but let's try to maintain a productive discussion about allies we can work with to improve our own platform.

Why do lemmy users keep ignoring the obvious success of Mastodon. Its clearly the most successful federated platform. We should be learning from Masto.
