Maybe the real bloat was the apps we needed all along
It is not much different than having multiple subreddits on same topic which is extremely common. Eventually one of the multiple communites will become the biggest and New users will go to that without much confusion. However Lemmy has added benefit of having those different communities on same topic hosted by different people. So if one host starts doing things users disagree they can just move to another without much hussle
Lemmy is much better for developer/admins. There is currently 10+ Lemmy apps in the works and 2 apps that supports both Lemmy and K.bin this is because K.bin doesn’t have a proper API documentation yet. Lemmy also has a better documentation for running your own instance and uses way less resources. Most of the Lemmy’s advantages are technical ones but it translates to user facing ones with more apps, more responsive, has more users and can scale better
