I like a large userbase myself, would prefer it to be larger than it is, but if everyone showed up tomorrow, it’d collapse. We’d see scaling problems that hadn’t been anticipated, anti-spam/anti-abuse systems wouldn’t have had time to adapt, etc.
Takes time with problems gradually appearing and becoming more serious and solutions showing up to deal with them.
Thats the biggest issue I DON’T like about Lemmy. I want everyone in the world on the fediverse.

Yeah we’ve have 1 Influx and the result was we retained a pretty decent userbase. I think the next influx will be even better for lemmy.
