Hopefully it won’t change.
Lemmy will be killed by tech bros once enough people figure out there is an alternative to their bullshit. They want total control and they will kill anything they cannot profit off of.
Since you just joined and aren’t yet deeply invested in your new account, you might want to think about joining piefed.world. It’s the same .world instance, it just uses the PieFed front end, which is much cleaner and more feature rich.
