Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.

Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

That's partly why I'm here. I don't want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?

I'd love it if the fediverse as a whole grew to that size. Any individual instance? No. That's kind of the whole point of the fediverse.

Would a URL shortener work better for sharing Lemmy links/instances?

Cross-post the thing to another instance, then share that link.

You could always use lemmy.org

How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they're all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.

Are people actually sharing fediverse links directly? I just save the image or copy the link the post is linking to, and share that.
