A change in direction for the project this week?
Maybe the reputation of stability on lemmy.world and people realizing that the amount of activity really wasn't that high - and lemm.ee shutting out images. Most of all, Beehaw's criticism maybe finally resonated.
Beehaw was online a full year before Reddit - and saw just how long-term issues were not being addressed… maybe that is what it took.
It is worth keeping a positive eye on things.

Communications… still really odd how May, June, July there was so little: https://sh.itjust.works/post/5652703
The claims to support Reddit level performance without listening to what Reddit has to say about PostgreSQL scaling from more than a decade ago is… still really bad. They still claim 'high performance' on the front page of the project as they have for a long time, when it isn't because it lacks any caching and there are still bugs lurking in database due to lack of testing with significant data.
Claiming that federation scales to Reddit when Reddit is a single-site (and has no federation equivalent) is pretty odd performance claim.
The lack of care for data and actually noticing data on the site keeps being demonstrated. Issue has been ignored for months - and was newly introduced bug when all the post Reddit API change was going on…
Just opened today, people repeating it, which the site creators do not repeat these easily solved bugs as priorities. Why not have a "top 20 bugs" and organize them 2 ways, easy of fix and importance of fix. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3987
On a positive note, an actual concern for data integrity expressed by core developer!
"This is a major issue with moderation, we should consider publishing the fix in an 0.18.5 release."

Although the project has an obsession over deleting data. Removing data. For communist flag waving project leaders, why is there such a focus on messages being deleted/removed? Why isn't it more like WIkipedia where commons is emphasized and terms-of-service emphasize that this is primarily a public forum and contributing to commons (communism?! hello?).
