    I don’t care about “number go up”.
    Lemmy now has enough users to provide plenty of content, and really interesting new communities I’ve never seen on that other website are starting to pop up.
    It also has its own memes and culture already.

    You don’t have 1000 comments under every meme post, but the comments that are there are usually worth reading.
    It’s not a reddit replacement - it’s much better.

      One of the nice things about Lemmy is that you actually get replies under your posts/comments and it’s not just repeating phrases to earn as much karma as possible. There’s always a sweet spot of engagement in online communities and I feel like we’re pretty close to where it begins. Other sites just make you feel like you’re shouting into the void.

      tl;dr - We don’t want the most users. We want the best users.

        Fair, but I do like seeing the federated model thrive and prove itself as a viable alternative to main stream social media. My utopian dream would be that profit driven internet would fall apart against what we have. I hate how much power is given to so few.
