To be honest, the whole reddit disaster caught us by surprise. We had a lemmy instance that was basically spun up for me to experiment with, and that I really enjoyed. We had open registrations, but were lucky to get 3 in a week, and most of those users weren't active.
So until a week ago, it was basically just me. And then BOOM!
Almost overnight, this place became a community. And unlike blahaj.zone itself, which was always designed to be that, I didn't really have that in mind for lemmy.blahaj.zone, because lemmy was so quiet.
We might turn off registration at some point in favour of our upcoming kbin instance, or we might not. It will depend on how lemmy scales in terms of hardware and moderation needs.
Either way, community is incredibly important to me, so whatever else happens, lemmy.blahaj.zone is here to stay, because planned or not, it has turned in to a thriving community.
