Would you all prefer lemmy as a whole reaches the userbase of reddit, or to remain smaller? (lemm.ee)

The people here seem generally nicer and more engaging. The level of content is pretty solid but it will be hard to grow the niche type of communities that people relied on for quality information without growing significantly. That will then attract the lurker style people who I’m guessing were responsible for a lot of the negative things about Reddit. Downvoting without commenting, commenting fluff, etc

No I'm a lurker, I just don't respond very often so much as just see the conversation. The reason people did that shit on reddit was because of the sense of anonymity, u saw it happen to 4chan to a greater extent.

I didn’t mean to imply that all lurkers were like that. Yeah I think everyone browses conversations without engaging to a certain degree. Its what makes posts great! It’s just a little disheartening getting downvoted a bunch for speaking an opinion with no replies. If I’m gonna downvote something I usually try to respond
