Ahh, I believe we just have a different perspective on what the best outcome for the lemmyverse is. If this place was as popular as Reddit I would want to see hundreds of communities for a subject and not have one that has a majority of users. You can have a main link one like r/science I guess that has super strict posting/commenting regulations and discussions get branched off into subcommunities maybe.

Honestly, even .ml feels too big for me atm and I'm thinking of switching out soon. I believe, if you actually use this site to engage in conversation and read through the links/articles people post, that you really only have time for a few interactions. If you're just doom scrolling and voting away I guess I would want something like Reddit but I'm already neglecting conversations I want to have on here because there's so many people and things to talk about all the time (and memes, can't forget them).
