Infancy. There is no guarantee it will catch on.

Edit: I find it strange that this image is implying that as soon as you stop implementing features you start dying. This is how you get needless bloat and turning solid software into something its original design never intended. A lot of software companies fall prey to this plan of endless expansion which eventually turns off the primary userbase of their software.

Lemmy doesn't need infinite features to continue surviving, but we definitely aren't there yet.

Aren't most Fediverse services at Infancy? It still feels like very early days.

Also "Loosing" should be Losing in the graphic.

It's starting to feel like it's more in the death spiral already because no one wanted to implement features that would enable growth. The reddit api apocalypse was a great chance to step into a more expanding or mature step, and it seems to have stalled.

Infanty 🤣

you missed the step where after development slows down, there are hundreds of forks of the project created making it too fragmented to be stable, again resulting in death.
