It took off but some things happened which made them close off. Maintaining the lemmy instance was too much for them because the issues were popping out left and right and there was mostly only 1 person that worked on maintaining it (not talking moderation). But honestly what caused the biggest blow for this decision was the fact they lost their .ml instance and were unable to migrate data.
Lemme is very good, and I am thinking about making a backup account in db0 instance :)
I had one in FMHY but sadly it never took off.

It was my first instance too. Switched to ani.social after it got shut down.
