Lemmy has been around for years, not months

Let's be realistic here, the large majority of people came here around June last year. I knew about Lemmy before, it had a few hundreds users before that.

Everything about the proposal is optional. I don’t understand why it matters to you. You seem to be fine with the current state and this proposal wouldn’t disrupt that.

Well, someone has to implement it. It matters to me because the developers of whatever platform we are talking about, be it Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, Sublinks, have limited time and resources. Some subreddits are still not wanting to move to Lemmy due to the lack of moderation tools. This should be prioritized to allow more people to come to the platform, and have it as a solid alternative to Reddit beyond memes, news, tech and open source. To me, it's strictly a question of prioritization, and that's why I'm not in favor of dedicated effort into this while communities are already moving around organically.
