    Don’t know you dude or dudeette but we can try to be what reddit first started as and what now it should be. It would be nice to show them compition to show their way is not working and ours are.

      I get you, and I don’t disagree, but sharing more actual content and less questions and comments about the lack of content, is much more likely to keep users here.

        I love the size because you can sort of develop recognition and trust with people here, but it’s still anonymous. Obviously Lemmy needs to grow but I feel like eventually anything cool like an online community or vacation spot eventually grows to where they aren’t the original thing any more, now they are something new.

        The vacation spot is still beautiful but now it’s overrun with impolite tourists and dubious vendors, for example. Small communities are great. At least if Lemmy gets too big, people can retreat to their local instance instead of interacting more with everyone out there. That’s not bad.
