    Sometimes, easy accessibility is a bad thing. Nobody profits off a large user base here. We should instead focus on having good users and a platform that serves those users.

      I completely agree.

      Reddit is worse because of its size, resulting in problems with spam/low effort posts and comments.

      This smaller size is a bit of a double-edged sword though. If I want to discuss cooking/chef knives with people, for example, there isn’t a niche community specifically for that topic. Maybe in this way it’s best for people to head outside of Lemmy to other forums for more specific interests, and Lemmy can be more tech/general discussion oriented.

      I haven’t quite figured that out yet.

          There is definitely no consensus on this. I wouldn’t mind having Lemmy 2 or 3 times bigger at least

            Oh yeah, we’re not at the sweet spot for mass yet. 10 times bigger would still be fine IMO!
