Speaking as a noob trying to see if I can respond from another server… Hi!
I spun up an instance for a friend group, to test it out, and while I think no one has a real clue what’s going on, it’s nice to have something new and positive. And since I or a friend control the server, no worries on the perverse incentives of the internet giants.
So, yeah, hopefully we can learn, and hopefully the ecosystem can grow.
I already deleted my 3P app and was looking for an alternative. I wanted to be the one that ripped that band-aid off so it could scab up early. So far I’m liking these Lemmy servers. They are my polysporin :p
I think we’ll see another spike when the third-party apps are actually shut down.
Be prepared to answer so many questions from newcomers.
A general how-to for lemmy pinned to the top would do wonders.
Today’s noobs are tomorrow’s participants and next months’ experts. Take it as a chance to be awesome to one another.

Is Boost shutting down?
Definetly, I remember mayayo (Boost’s dev) commenting that the update he pushed out recently was the last dance or something.
Can’t imagine how Boost would survive when many more successful third-party apps are going under.

It might turn into the Lemmy version of Eternal September.
That’s why I’m here, the third party app I use is about to be shut down.
