I would like it if lemmy had near the numbers of reddit (although i dont think that will happen), but the userbase is already big and diverse enough to sustain some good communities that have an (imo) better feeling to them than reddit.

Thank you so much, i was just looking for a way to do this the other day!
Thanks for the correction, i read the post when it was made and only re read the post itself when linking. The problem as far as i understand it wasnt with communities people didnt like, but with trolls and harassment that is hardly controlled with a no barrier signup process. As long as the mod tools are not good enough to deal with that, beehaw.org has every reason to deal with this in a way that compromises content wise.

It depends on the goal of the platform. For spending your free time on and socializing i fully agree that smaller communities are the best. However as a forum for getting information (especially on niche subjects) more users = better more or less.
