Currently Lemmy has a decent selection of communities and nearly any post gets a good traction, you easily find yourself in convos and can recognise others if you frequent enough

I don’t think this would be the case for long if Lemmy got big, maybe 10% of Reddit is enough

But maybe because of how Lemmy is maintained, instances like beehaw might defederate, again allowing for smaller communities

I don’t know, I really like where Lemmy is tbh, bit iffy on the .world situation, donated a bit, Lemmy is nice. Yeah. Lemmy is nice. I like Lemmy.

    i would be happy if we had like, double the users. beyond that it would start to look too much like Reddit, but 2x users would make for some more lively discussions.

      Yeah, I get that. Often I like interacting at a slower pace, but sometimes I get in a more social mood, and that’s not really viable here at the moment.

    Reddit has 100m users. I think this place would still be good with around 500k. It would be cool to see a massive user base and how all the different instances find their niches.
