I would mildly argue that might be a good thing. The Masses [TM] are what changed reddit from interesting discourse to shitposting trolls. If everybody came here, it would just be more of the same.

So there aren’t a lot of people here. But the people who are here make the atmosphere we love. We want more lemmy, with all the open talking. Not beehaw, where apparently they want to remain in a vacuum. They can’t exactly, since that’s evidently not how defederation works, but they want to. They might as well just go back to reddit.

Keep in mind, this is all my take on what’s happening. I’m not completely sure I understand federation and how it works.
