    Also, we don’t necessarily need a big userbase. Just a good active one. More is not necessarily better in my opinion.

    Smaller is also much more manageable.

      Absolutely, I would be happy if we stayed where we are on the main subs with niche ones growing a bit. Game specific subs are still pretty barren with most of the content being three or four people. I could use some of that growth for sure.

      A few hundred comments and consistent uploads are all I think we really need to keep chugging along.

      Bluesky is super-fun right now, because it’s got just enough folks to generate varied content, and everyone is playing ball on the same level.

        And that’s largely because they’ve kept it invitation-only, so the users are all approximately simpatico. That can’t last though. Eventually they’ll have to open it up and let in the shills, the grifters and the racist uncles.

        Bluesky is proprietary garbage, not free and with limited access.

        If we want to be free we have an alternative to twitter/bluesky called nostr.

        Let’s not encourage golden cages and we won’t have to regret it later when the obvious happens.

        The nostr community reminds me a lot of the current state of lemmy, I hope with the growth of both communities it doesn’t get lost.

      The only thing I’m missing so far is the diversity. I used to follow lots of different ‘Ask’ subs for countries and regions around the world, and some others for different communities. So far I haven’t seen that here.

      Unfortunately, the main benefit of having a large userbase is that you can always find a community for any obscure interest you have! That’s not really the case with lemmy now.
