I agree with the sentiment, when things get too popular every sub becomes more generic and filled with recycled or low effort content. But there’s a happy medium. It would be nice if there were enough people that some more niche communities had activity.
It is far from getting to that point. That will happen when it becomes mainstream enough to attract normies. Lemmy could still use a lot of growth. I only get to consume content that happens to be available here, rather than being able to pick niche communities being active on the topics I would like.
I’m happy the way it is. Massive growth will just turn it into another shit hole like Reddit, which I came here to get away from.

There’s a lot of smaller communities that are only kept going by one dedicated poster, or never got the critical mass to keep going, which is a shame.
