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.
I don't want a huge influx of users. Lemmy is good. I like Lemmy. A flood of people enshitify it.
Lemmy broadly is very group-think right now. There isn’t 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 won’t have those same problems because the commercial model is so different (non-existent).
Agreed. The person you're responding to thinks it's good because most people are aligned with his/her opinions. It's currently nothing more than a large echo chamber. A fresh injection of users will do Lemmy well for diversity of thought.
Your account is less than a day old. What do you know about it?
I have several accounts on different servers bud.
