Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.

I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!

@lemmy @LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it

Development is hard. I wouldn't be surprised if they are waiting to see if Lemmy sticks before spending time.

Also they need to make a living some how. I'm sure implementing ads into a Lemmy app right now wouldn't go over well.

It's better for them to dust their resume off, update it, and attempt to get a new job before dabbling into making a free app with no revenue streams.

@JshKlsn You are talking about a chicken and egg problem here.

When these devs with millions of users promote Lemmy, is when Lemmy will thrive bringing in even more incentive to build great apps for them
