I disagree about being content with a small user base, I want more niche communities beyond News/Politics, Linux/FOSS, and memes.
Be the change you want to see in the world
Sorry for being off topic (from the article), but I have a little community of translators on lemmy.ca if you're interested in niche communities.
What? Where? Nice!
Oh I want those things too. The current size of Lemmy is not my ideal. It's just really really nice in its current form for me as a unique little nerdy place hidden in plain sight from what most of the internet has become.
It was more the juxtaposition of how the world needs all these open technologies that people band together to create for the good of all, buuuuut if nobody notices this particular one then that will serve my personal interests. And to be clear I'm not hoping for that or trying to hold it back. Just pointing it out. :)
I have mixed feelings.
On one hand, agreed @ wanting more variety in communities.
OTOH, Lemmy already has too much fucking politics. I don't want whatever's infecting reddit to become even MORE prevalent here. shudder
