Some people might find the answer to be obvious (yes) but I’ve rarely found it so. In fact, this is a question I often find in the linux community (regarding linux going mainstream, not lemmy) and people are pretty split upon it.
On one hand, you may get benefits like more activity, more content, more people to interact with, a greater chance you’ll find someone to talk to on some specific subject.
On the other, you could run into an eternal September like reddit, where Lemmy would lose its culture, and have far more spam and moderation issues.
I don’t know, what do you think?
More views and supporter, yes. More popular, no - the answer why is simple because the more people are on a platform, the more it gets infiltrated with people you do not want. Such people abuse the platform for their purposes. I am not going into details, but I think we all know what I mean.
I rather like less people with productive discussions than lots of comments that are not helpful.
