Hi, do you think lemmy would be as popular as Reddit ? I mean, many subreddits have much more posts compared to communities on lemmy… sometimes I scroll through Reddit sub top of month and see no end. At lemmy mostly I see 10 posts monthly… I do like concept of moving to lemmy, but it might make no sense if people’s are no active here and tbh I see the trend of disappearing activity

I don't want lemmy to be as popular as reddit as the signal to noise ratio was really bad.. Way too much noise.

I do want smaller communities that are on reddit to have a lemmy counterpart.

This. The more popular it gets, the more people come, the more trolls and idiots are beneath them, the more toxic everything gets...

Advertisements and fake news will also skyrocket once the user bases are big enough to become adequate breeding grounds for them.
