I don't get it. Do u guys actually want to keep lemmy active userbase to 30k worldwide?
Yes
YES
I don't understand why you people want this place to devolve to the lowest common denominator.
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 lemmiwings
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
