  • The biggest issue of community growth is the lack priority in search engines. If you ask a question on lemmy, stackoverflow, and reddit at the same time, you will get the two latter choices first even if the lemmy post has a better answer.

    Either lemmy is not prioritized because of the age of the domain, or less visitors, but I think it’s purposely done. There are usually no ads on lemmy. Google prioritizes sites that use their products.



  • Being exclusive works really well. Like getting VIP access makes people feel important.

    It’s what made Facebook cool. When only selected schools were allowed to join, students, faculty, and staff felt important.

    I know they needed to grow, but keeping it just for college students would’ve kept its cool factor for a lot longer.

    Business accounts usually have better uptime because that might mean money lost.

    Some business ISP agreements have in them that they will give you money back if your internet is down over the rate they mentioned.

    Home user agreements basically say they can cut your internet if they choose to do so for any reason.

    Also business accounts can ask for a static IP address.

    I don’t actually know any consumer laws that protect home users more than business users. Which laws are you referring to?
