See I think there are people here that are invested or working for Facebook and reddit, so I understand why there is this public feedback, I just don’t buy that this is on the interests of most people using lemmy. We want reddit size, Just without reddit ads and scumbaggery
Most people here don’t want reddit size. We like discussion, and 10s of thousands of comments and bots. If it gets larger overtime and scales horizontally to keep the communities a reasonable size, that’s great. We’re here because it’s not Reddit, not because we want it to be reddit.
I’m not sure what you are saying actually aligns with what most people want.
I want reddit size , with lemmy apps without ads and without reddit douchebaggery.
Yes ofc we all want real discussions and real humans, but humans won’t come here if there is no content, I think it’s very very clear by now.
We need at least content parity, only then we can attract more people. And as more people come here - reddit would naturally die the digg way. But there is a chicken and an egg problem - we need content first
I think we’re just on different wavelengths. Anecdotally, it appears to me in most communities that I look in, people don’t want mass expansion. A lot of us like the smaller community where we recognize different regular users. More people means more drama and more shit. If the platform never expanded from where it is right now, I’d be satisfied as well as I think many others would be.
More diverse instances and sub Lemmy’s would be nice for more niche topics, but I don’t want to scroll through posts with thousands of comments.
But again, different strokes for different folks. It’s not what I’m looking for, but there certainly are people such as yourself that do.
YES
I don’t understand why you people want this place to devolve to the lowest common denominator.
