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.
I just hope the platform will expand into more niche content over time. The big topics seem to be news, politics, and some specific tech subjects. Would love to see arts/crafts/hobby related stuff take hold here as well.
That said, I do think a lot of the discussion happening here is pretty high quality and the place does seem to be improving over time. Time will tell. Hopefully more people wake up to the fact that reddit is not gonna hold up on the long term. I expect them to go IPO crazy this coming year and I don't think a lot of the core users are going to like it.
Might not be the kind of arts and crafts you're talking about but I mod both !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works, plus there's !crochet@lemmy.ca , !sewing@lemmy.world and plenty more that would be happy to have you!
Yeah unfortunately not quite what I'm looking for, but cool to see they're there
