You're right, it at the same time a small number of people trying to post regularly, regardless of whether they've got something that really needs posting, doesn't tend to provide high-quality content - and I fear that's what we're seeing a lot on Lemmy right now.
Yeah I have thought about that, but I think it's better to have a lot of content than no content. Of course the optimal would be if everyone posted quality content but maybe it's more important to just have new content now they Lemmy is growing.
I think if Lemmy becomes very big, there will be enough users that people who want a bit higher quality can just skip the meme communities and all that and opt for better quality communities.
