More users is nice, but the real metric should be the quality of the content and discussions. And for me that's the real winner with Lemmy.
Quality over quantity.
Okay but how do we quantitatively and unambiguously devise a metric for quality? More importantly, how do we come up with a satisfactory approximation to that metric? I'm open to ideas.
You can't.
I absolutely think we can approximate it, and MAU furnishes a flawed example of such an approximation.
