I don't think I would like Lemmy as much if it got big (discuss.online)

Currently Lemmy has a decent selection of communities and nearly any post gets a good traction, you easily find yourself in convos and can recognise others if you frequent enough

I don't think this would be the case for long if Lemmy got big, maybe 10% of Reddit is enough

But maybe because of how Lemmy is maintained, instances like beehaw might defederate, again allowing for smaller communities

I don't know, I really like where Lemmy is tbh, bit iffy on the .world situation, donated a bit, Lemmy is nice. Yeah. Lemmy is nice. I like Lemmy.

Lemmy getting bigger wouldn't mean that smaller communities vanish. It would actually allow for more small communities around niche topics to be able to sustain themselves on the platform, and those would still be close-knit spaces where regulars would know each other pretty well. To me that's the biggest thing Lemmy lacks that Reddit has, I can't just type in /r/gameI'mcurrentlyplaying, /r/showI'mcurrentlywatching, etc and find an active community for all my hyperfixations.

Yeah I'm still on reddit for hobby stuff. My hobbies aren't even niche by any means, they're just not here.
