I don't want a huge influx of users. Lemmy is good. I like Lemmy. A flood of people enshitify it.
A nice slow growth pattern would be nice.
We would get more financial support for third party apps and more content.
In my opinion, it's not growth in users that's the problem but in capital. The more the platform wants to earn, the shittier it gets. And since lemmy isn't going to earn anything, it ain't get shitty
Lemmy broadly is very group-think right now. There isnโt a large diversity of opinion yet; growth would be good - the real issue is when you have actually saturated a market, the only way to grow is through increasingly shitty things (see: reddit). Lemmy wonโt have those same problems because the commercial model is so different (non-existent).
thanks for using Leebra!

I was pleased to see Lemmy get a shout out in the Verge's recent "Case for the Fediverse" article. I wonder if it attracted anyone new.
