Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

I hope not. I hope that lemmy doesn’t grow any heavier than it is growing right now. The content is good, it’s enough, most threads have good comments. I don’t want this to become another Reddit. Lemmy is really good as is.

People singlehandedly supporting communities about popular topics might disagree

God bless those people. I hope for more like minded individuals to help them out, but I still would personally not wish for lemmy to have thousands of votes and comments per post. Quality over quantity for me personally.

We're far away from thousands of votes and comments per post, don't worry.

!fedigrow@lemm.ee is full of people trying to build communities about popular topics, only to be shouting into the void

Lemm.ee is shutting down

The issue is also partially that of those migrating to Linux from windows, in that they try to match their experience, ignoring all the other features they now have acquired. Communities will come organically, when there’s enough people to warrant them. Lots of tech communities as Lemmy users are usually tech affine.

It’s fine if there is not a subreddit clone for everything here yet. Maybe it will come, maybe it won’t.

The only way it'll ever come is if the userbase grows.

Problem is a lot of people don't remember early reddit it was the same way lots of tech folks then grew organic from there.

How is the latter supposed to happen without the former? Like it or not, many of us are here solely because Reddit went to shit with their extreme monetization. Lemmy is still a really small community and absolutely NEEDS larger adoption in order to remain a viable option
