I remember when r/NZ was about 300 people

Before all the normies heard of reddit, before the mods became ultra special etc etc etc. Feels the same again man! *Strive to teach and help each other fellow Kiwis who all live on these islands we call home. Peace

I wonder if the Lemmy platform (assuming it has legs) will facilitate a better atmosphere simply because there is a slightly higher barrier to entry - and because it is not commercial, meaning no one will be trying to make it a big deal?

There is nothing stopping a commercial instance. Facebook is apparently working on a twitter-like site that will federate with Mastodon: https://techcrunch.com/...

But yes, it feels like Lemmy is in the early community growth stage, like Reddit was 10 years ago before the big push to go mainstream.
