In recent days I have seen these two arguments repeated quite commonly. From reddits side it was all about how “noones using Lemmy anyway”
While from Lemmy it was “how numbers have been exploding”
My question is, why do numbers of users matter so much to anyone really? Isnt activity what matters more?
On two questions here I gotten just as much engagement if not more than anything I did on reddit combined
at least with respect to this site: numbers do not. we do not place importance on numbers, only “do we have enough users to sustain a community” and “do we have enough people to properly and responsibly staff that community”
